FEEDBACKS OF PARTICIPANTS of Gustavo workshops

  •   "In five days you unblock your senses, unblock yourself, so that you can be anything: a flower, a tree, a child falling from a tree, a pile of garbage, a whirlpool. Twenty-three years of memory are inexhaustible material, and the meaning of each action is only known to themselves. My partners and I watched each other's dance, occasionally curious about what kind of image was behind it, but it did not prevent us from appreciating each other's sincerity and devotion on the road of digging in."​

  • "I like the combination of indoor and outdoor parts, and the teacher shared the steps of butoh.This will help me greatly in the future.The performance part of the collection, the usual practice on the stage, feel a sense of cohesion, connection, a lot of love, eating together is also very happy. After the workshop, there was still sharing in the group, which made me feel like I was absorbing and being with everyone."

  • "Teacher Gustavo only emphasizes to let images and memories come to you, training the mind to think and the body to move at the same time, the energy is flowing, as the mind is constantly work-ing. From subtle physical changes to postural motivation."

  • "It is as if the teacher is moving in this space, but the cohesion of his eyes and every movement is evoked by the deepest inner being. At the end of the performance, we gathered together again and hugged each other for a long time, and the word "precious" kept coming up in my heart. Yeah, moments like this, they really feel precious. That night, I drank a lot, kept saying to my lover: I am so happy, so happy. Thanks for the gift from Butoh."

  • " it is very special. He told us the details of his time with Yoshito Ohno when he was studying in Japan and how excited he was to be able to bring butoh to different places to share. For five days, I learned choreography skills, explored the physical senses, and was touched by the nakedness and sincerity of a true artist."

  • "In Butoh, it's just the use of images and memories. I love it when the knowledge bypasses my mind and goes straight to my spirit. A new way to move, to dance, to see."
