New York Butoh Institute Festival - Butoh Masterclass with Eugenia Vargas

Take a masterclass with our featured Butoh Festival guest  Eugenia Vargas from Mexico!

Eugenia Vargas  

Dancer, choreographer, teacher, manager, and researcher. Her education integrates choreography, dance research, and literary creation. Her artistic interest is based on the question about the body, butoh, and the composition of the poetic image on stage. In her workshops, Vargas focuses on the investigation of the electrical impulse as a spark of sensation to delve into the training of nervous sensitivity and transformation body, based on energy and its multiple qualities

She is the founder and director of Laboratorio Escénico Danza Teatro Ritual (LEDTR), a space that has served not only as an incubator for dance and interdisciplinary projects but also as an artistic residence and a formative space for butoh dance, from which several generations of artists have emerged or have been influenced.
