INTRODUCTION ( Kenzo’s Workshop Words - 0 )

==================================================================================

Herewith I am sharing with you the collection of my workshop words ( workshop texts ), which I would love to share with you as a source of inspiration.

Hopefully it becomes some inspiration for you in whatever ways possible..! )

Those words are audio-recorded during my workshops, and later transcribed onto paper ( and also later on further re-formulated with some additional sentences and editings ), that eventually became more as a reading material of my daily movement practice archival in the written format in some way, and also with an intention to serve as an inspirational movement guide book text for whoever wants to experience the ambience of Kenzo’s workshop and daily movement practice at home ( or anywhere..! ), as they read those words, regardless of whether they actually “ move “ their body or not.

With my sincere hope that the potential reader could possibly feel the “ Kenzo’s dance workshop “ within his or her own body, by using one’s own imagination while reading those texts..

It might seem to be looking like something between poetry and movement guide book.. and there are so many pages and so many words to read..,

but it is not so necessary to be read chronologically from the beginning till the end,

so please feel free to start reading from any sentence at any chapters.

So it might even be better to just open any pages randomly and intuitively, and start reading any sentence that comes to you first, just to start from somewhere somehow, and you can start anywhere.

Please just feel free to play around in the way how you would read these texts.

Anyway, I am sharing these texts with you, just as a reference and a source of inspiration..;)))

-----------

* At this moment, the texts are made of 6 different chapters: These first 6 chapters (1)~(6) were transcribed, written during the period between April~May in 2020 ( * that was also the first corona pandemic lockdown period in The Netherlands, so I had enough time to engage myself in writing and revising all these texts at my home in Amsterdam in April-May 2020. * )

* One of these 6 chapters; Chapter(5): THE KNUCLE IS JUST A HALFWAY, was later published in the art project publication book " STRECHTY CONTAINERS - Artists on Chewing, Feeding and Letting Go " ( * published by n.k.g.publications, Amsterdam, NL ), the book was published in 2020, as a result of the contemporary art exhibition " It HAPPENS ANYWAY " in which Kenzo Kusuda was invited as one of the participating artists. Both the exhibition " IT HAPPENS ANYWAY " and publishing of the book " STRECHY CONTAINERS - Artists on Chewing, Feeding and Letting Go ( n.k.g.publishing, Amsterdam, NL ) were organized by Nina Glockner, Sachi Miyachi and Natasha Rosling. The exhibition took place at the art gallery W139 in Amsterdam in the summer of 2019.

* Probably I will keep on writing further and adding more new chapters that might follow later on.. Probably the new chapters (7) & (8) might be coming later to be added soon..

* There are still many more layers of new inspirations and discoveries coming up every(new-)day, new reflections and fresh insights in the daily practice.., and even as of today, many of those new elements / aspects of my current practices are not yet all written on paper in the form of texts at this very moment, but I hope that they will be on paper at some point, in one way or another, more or less, somehow.. )
