Olympic Peninsula Butoh Symposium

7 days of workshops, performances & artistic programming in Port Townsend, Washington

Salish Sea Butoh invites you to join us for a week-long dance immersion on the northeastern tip of the Olympic Peninsula! For this special event, we bring together a diverse array of intergenerational Butoh teachers to facilitate multiple day-long workshops and dynamic Butoh experiences both indoors and outdoors in nature! In celebration of the Pacific Northwest’s unique landscapes and beautiful moss-covered forests, each day of this intensive will culminate with either an ecology-themed stage performance or a site-specific dance performance in nature with Live music.  Workshop attendees will have the option to stay at a local organic farm campground, sharing communal meals and feedback circles around the bonfire after a full day of Butoh training in a gorgeous forested environment.
