Body Weather is
a comprehensive training and performance practice that investigates
the intersections of bodies and their environments. Bodies are not
conceived
as fixed and separate entities but are - like the weather - constantly
changing through an infinite and complex system of processes occurring
in- and outside of these bodies. Body Weather is an offshoot of Butoh,
originated by Min Tanaka. Traditional farming practice forms half of
the training in Body Weather.
Macarena Ortuzar was born in Chile. She has worked as a dancer and a performance artist in NYC, Texas, Chile and she has resided in Oxford for the past five years. Her work has been influenced mainly by her intense and transformational experience working with great dancer Min Tanaka (founder of Body Weather), living and farming at the farm in the mountains of Hakushu, Japan.
