“LEIMAY artistic director Ximena said the first class I took from her that each class would be like looking at one section of an elephant, and only after a number of classes could the whole picture begin to unfold. With that in mind, each class I’ve taken at LEIMAY has a similar quality, yet shifts vastly from large to small, slow to fast, together, apart, and many different forms of rigorous. Butoh has become not simply a slow meditation, but also a vibrant, pulsing beast that falls in and out of sleep while being ever aware. Each class is a huge step in authenticating and deepening my movement practice, specifically as a dancer!”
