The body is our instrument to explore life; it is the material presence of oneself; it is oneness turn into duality. Kronos is time, our present time, our immediate reality. Ony in this single moment, only in the now we can experience and influence our own life. Time is the means utilized by human beings to measure transformation. From childhood to old age; from growth to decay; from seed to plant; from flower to fruit; from night to day; from matter to spirit. Time is transformation, transformation is movement; movement causes vibrations; vibrations connect us to the universal stream of creative energy. The body reflects the passage of time through transformations and movements. Thus we are connected with the vital flow of cosmic energy. The body keeps these experiences which are an endless source of inspiration. BodyKronos proposes a conscious practice that combines body, imagination and spirit, in order to find your own individual and unique connection with this vital flow of energy, so that you can become part of the dance of the universe. BodyKronos is a creative movement workshop based on butoh dance and physical theater. It welcomes any participant, regardless of age or previous training, interested in establishing a deep relationship with the expressive possibilities of the body.
