Taking the risk, going to the edge, and opening our channels. All locks we have in our bodies. the invisible locks. to protect. Opening up can be scary thing, so we protect. However, once we are open-- state of vulnerability, we connect with unexpected things surround us. Be seen. Sharing a heart. That gives us power. Connecting with people, other lives and nature. just like blossoming a flower. We are the flower. Here is my favorite poem by Anais Nin.
Risk by Anais Nin
And the the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to bloosom.

I met this poem when I was in MFA in Acting program. It spoke to me a lot. Everytime I read this, I could not even say it. My voice started shaking, and tears came out from my eyes. In Butoh practice, we practice openness a lot. Hours and hours we put ourselves to be open physically, mentally, emotionaly and spiritually -- to be available to all possibilities in nature.
Theatre training and Butoh Training- it seems two different trainigs, but for me, it is the same. One thing always speak to me is this. and this is what I believe.
