"Inside-in": Biosensor Butoh

Registration Fee: FREE, spots are limited

‍

"Inside-In": Biosensor Butoh is an eco/cyber-feminist somatic movement journey. We take an "inside-in" approach to interactive dance, as the code of our inner organs emerges as soundscape and, in turn, pulls us deeper into embodiment. These workshops translate Jinen Butoh’s nature-based metamorphosis into D::StudioLab’s biophysical sensing system, The Source. We will be collectively guided by the live ECG rhythms of our own bodies: into the waves of Mother Sea, into remembrance of the fetal state, and into presence with each other.

Priority access is for womxn and queer people of colour. All physical abilities are welcome, and no dance experience is necessary.

Led by digital performance artist Mitsuko Noguchi.

A final presentation of the project process will be held during Open Studio on April 29, 2026 | 6-9PM. Open Studio programming is always free and open to the public.
