B-utiful Butoh

I googled Butoh and this was what I got. I'm not sure what he's got to do with Butoh (he could be doing a part of the dance, or something to do with the make up) but it is a great picture. I wasn't too sure about letting people draw on my face originally...but Erin Banks just dived right in before I could protest. I guess it wasn't that bad. The exercise afterwards was really exciting. There were a lot of tie-ins I saw to my yoga class, like the ending part when we were instructed to chop the air, Justine made a lot of motions similar to the Warrior positions. A lot of the motions tied into the breathing, like yoga does.

I didn't enjoy the Up Down motion of the exercise when we went from the fetal position to standing up to the fetal position over and over and over again. Most of the time I wasn't even quick enough to stand up all the way! I think it was a good experience though and I liked the connections to yoga.
