On the occasion of the spring equinox, celebrated local Butoh performer and teacher Hiroko Tamano leads a playful morning exercise in energy alignment loosely inspired by Qigong. “Qi” is known as life energy and refers to the energy circulating through the body as it connects to a more universal or environment energy system. Hiroko was a disciple of Butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata in Tokyo. She moved to Berkeley in 1979 with her husband, Koichi, who had brought Butoh to the United States in 1976.
