NTP is a holistic workshop and performance project exploring body, mind, and spirit through nature, universal forces, and collective energy, using martial arts, Butoh, and trance practices to create a traveling artistic expression against war where movement becomes ritual and performance becomes healing, love, care, and activism. The workshop is conducted by three great masters from Japan: Nobu Naruse (Butoh & Shamanic Performance), Tatsuya Furukawa (Aikido, Butoh & Body Conditioning), and Dr. Prabhath Bhaskaran (Kalaripayattu & Cosmic Body Work), focusing on embodied practice, strength, and the universe as body. It is a workshop-cum-performance where the three facilitators perform solos that merge into a collective expression.
Venue: Kuruvinatham Village, Bahour Commune, Puducherry.
