Greetings,

Kokoro Dance invites you to take part in our 28th Annual Wreck Beach Butoh performance workshop from July 11 - 24, 2022 on Vancouver's largest stage with costumes, set, lighting, and sound by Mother Nature.

Wreck Beach Butoh has been performed annually by Kokoro Dance for the past twenty-seven years. It is one of our favourite performances but also a test of the stamina and spirit of our performers. This intensive butoh workshop is open to anyone willing to work physically hard and endure difficult performing conditions. If you would like to participate, please download the 2022 Wreck Beach Butoh registration form below.
Total Workshop fee: $452.00 for new participants; $32.00 for past participants.

The workshop will consist of morning classes and afternoon rehearsals, in workout clothing, at KW Studios in the Woodward’s Heritage Building (on the corner of Abbott St. and West Hastings St.). Performances take place at 11am on Saturday, July 23, 2022 and 12pm on Sunday, July 24, 2022 at Wreck Beach (foot of the #4 Trail below the UBC Museum of Anthropology.
