I made this improv movement sculpture today. I call it... BIRTH OF THE DEATH OF THE BIRTH OF DEATH
Hope you enjoy it!
I just set up the camera and hit the record button and danced to this beautiful song called "Breathe" by the San Francisco band Lazarus. A one take wonder. I am finding so much healing through dance these days. It makes my soul feel perfect when i'm doing it. If you like the music of Lazarus, you must listen to Trevor Montgomery ((singer, songwriter) of Lazarus's new band Young Moon! westernvinyl.com/artists/young-moon

Aquarius Blue Moon / Venus Retrograde Butoh Dance
Yesterday I performed an improvisational outdoor Butoh dance to honor the Aquarian Blue moon happening in conjunction with Venus going retrograde. This Blue Moon won’t happen again until 2018! This is a really powerful time in the universe as the full moons reminds me of the important lessons i’ve learned over the past month. What a time of transitions. I wanted to honor this time by giving my very best to the universe through movement, through a Butoh dance. I chose to dance next to the Bethesda Fountain because it’s one of the most magical places in NYC to me. The air coming off of the fountain always feels so rejuvenating and healing. I did some research about Bethesda and found out that she hovered over the pool of Bethesda where people would go to be healed and the name "Bethesda" means "house of mercy”. I was drawn to this spot to perform a movement offering of love, peace and healing. Besides how I feel about this spot personally, this spot also happens to be one of THE most touristy spots in NYC. It’s a high traffic area with tourists from all over the world. I got to the fountain and found a spot off to the side where there is grass and bushes to change into what I would dance in and ad make up. I was really nervous but focused once I got there. I then prepared a spot where I would dance and brought with me meaningful objects for a small alter that I made. I also brought with me 4 large sunflowers for the dance and for my space. I then laid out a square piece of thick muslin cloth to dance on because I knew the ground would be really hot. I wrote some words before hand for my intentions for the dance and for my hopes and wishes. I read the words aloud and then danced.
I contemplated music or no music before hand and decided on bringing music with me. I made a long playlist of mostly instrumental music that moves me. I played the music on my phone through a small speaker and began dancing with the sunflowers. It was 90 degrees, not many clouds in the sky and the sun was coming down hard on me. I almost felt I was attracting the sun even more by dancing with these sunflowers, almost as if they were giant staffs of light and of the sun. I have never spent so much time looking into the face of a sunflower. Its patterns and textures are truly hypnotic. I found myself holding the sunflower straight in the air as to perfectly block the sun. In an almost back bend I held my position there as long as possible and studied the face of the sunflower as the sunflower became so many people’s faces that I love and were thinking about.

With the sound of the fountain and the sound of Maria Callas’s voice I truly lost myself in my dance, forgetting where I was for stretches of time. As I would come back and step back into reality, I would see groups of people at a far distance hiding behind their cell phone cameras taking pictures. The reactions were fascinating to me as many people would initially walk close by and pretend I wan’t there, but then i’d see those same people in the distance watching me from behind their phones. I realize Butoh to a fresh eye can be jarring, scary or just strange. It’s movements aren’t classically beautiful to the standards of what most people find beautiful in movement. But one thing that stood out to me was how small children would run up to me and then just stand there in amazement to what I was doing, not understanding but still intrigued and curious and open. Then swiftly in most occasions their parents would quickly pull them away almost in a protective way. As if I may jump out and eat their children. This made me sad because before my eyes I could see them instilling their fear of what they don’t understand into their small children who will probably become just like them someday. I had a few people that stood close by and watched. It’s incredible how with those who give you their good energy, you as a performer can always feel that they are with you.
My dance evolved many times. At certain points I remember holding a position of holding the sunflowers straight up in the air facing the angel statue and staring at her for a long time.
I also remember in my dance extending my arms to people as to offer the flowers. I was hoping someone would take one. Sadly the closest anyone came to taking a flower was when 3 British girls who thought I was ridiculous decided to get up close to my face and invade my space and take pictures of my really close and make fun of me. At one point the girl took my flower and then put it back in my hand and then took it and then put it back in my hand. A part of me wanted to scare her and quickly come out of character and yell at her but I just kept focused on my dance and eventually they went away. The sun was really brutal and I would find that like a flower, i’d desperately need water and would wilt as a flower without water. I’d wilt all the way until I was almost dead...then drink some water and slowly grow again.
This was such a great opportunity for me to study the way a sunflower with its long stock moves and emulate its movements. It was a great human study for me as well to stay focused on my dance and my intention and try not to judge everything around me. I ended up having to stop about 20 minutes early because I thought I was going to get sun stroke. It was such an incredible experience and I’m so glad I did it. I really look forward to my next solo street dance performance.
An improvisational Butoh dance by Chris Carlone performed on July 4, 2015 in Los Angeles California at The Vermanklin. Celebrating one year of immersing myself in the studies of this life changing art form.
I made an improvisational Butoh Dance to Sufjan Stevens song, Drawn to the Blood. I needed to dance. It felt so good. I love this song so much.
ALL BIRDS ARE PHOENIXES is my latest Butoh Dance for the camera as part of my Ghost Dances Series. This dance was created with the very talented artist Victoria Moyer. It was an honor to collaborate on her vision with her.

A small video clip from my Hanged Man Butoh Dance at The Hushe Clubbe in Los Angeles. Video by Helene Renaut.
While in Los Angeles last week I was honored to perform an improvisational Butoh dance to an improvisational vocal drone performance by incredible singers Wendy Rule, Nora Keyes and Carisa Bianca Mellado and drumming by Ron Rege Jr. The performance was at my creative home The Hushe Clubbe and the inspiration for my dance was The Hanged Man Tarot card. My whole dance was based around the transformation from a stuck place to rebirth. The dance felt so cathartic and explosive performing around 1 AM as I was SO moved by the sounds of these incredibly powerful women’s voices. It was such an honor to dance as The Hanged Man and feel changed by this dance.
I witnessed and photographed a very powerful Butoh performance called The Fates by fellow Butoh student friends and dancers Shawn Escarciga with Max Desire and Beatrice VS. It was a 3 hour durational piece and 2 performances in one combining a piece by Brandon Fisette. The whole thing was accompanied by the ambient guitar sounds of Anders Edwards. Both pieces as stated by the artists were an exploration in the freewill found in restraint and the potential for alchemy when facing one's fears. All performers were restrained, blindfolded and bound for 3 hours in a beautiful and peaceful community garden in the East Village of NYC. I found the piece incredibly inspiring and powerful.
I had a really beautiful and thrilling experience performing an improvisational Butoh dance with 3 friends in Central Park. We danced right in front of the Belvedere Castle in the Shakespeare Garden. our inspiration and theme for our dance was taking in every sensation around us and letting it move us physically and guide our dance. The feeling of the wind, the grass under our feet, the sound of a bird or voices or car horns ...the air going into our lungs.... receiving everything as it was the first time we experienced it and letting it move our bodies. It was a 45 minute improvisation. What a beautiful experience!
I love this documentary about Butoh that was filmed in Germany in 1995 during the (first?) Ex it Project. Here's part one of six. All six parts are queued up. This is my dream! To live somewhere and study from when I wake up until when I pass out. Someday!
