Episode 8. Butoh dance and how Masks and Costumes can invite exploration

from Talent Free · host Sasha Mazur-K

In this episode, I speak with Yuliya who is a costume designer and Butoh dancer.We talk about how attached we become to our masks, and how costume can shift from something we hide behind into a tool for exploration, play, and communication. Yuliya shares how Butoh is not only a dance form, but a philosophy of life and presence that invites slowness, attention, and transformation.This conversation moves between costume design, masks, embodiment, and Butoh as a living practice exploring creativity as a process of self-discovery and opening space to reflect on how we relate to the different personalities we carry, and how creativity can help us meet them with curiosity.Today’s guestYuliya V Krylovahttps://www.yuliyavkrylova.com/ButohUKInstagram People mentioned in the episode:Marie-Gabrielle Rotie
