I watched the Butoh performance and what I noticed was that the music made me feel much more uncomfortable than his movements. When I turned down the volume I could enjoy those amazing movements that look like jerks but there’s such a huge of amount of control and precision in them. Wow.
As to the music it fits Steven Porges’s theory that high/low pitch tones trigger the sympathetic NS.
I so related to the trauma relevance to deep feeling. ACE's, mirror neurons, need to honor boundaries...all have highly impacted my life. I've noticed for myself that even hearing someone talk until they are running out of breath for their utterance gets me deep breathing. Also seeing someone hunched over gets me standing/ sitting up straighter- almost as if to offer them relief, yet I feel I am sensing the constraints myself. I've also noticed always being impacted when someone in my family is watching "funny videos" when accidents or falls occur. Not so funny, but I always find myself looking away. I'm always wondering how injured they wound up! Not my idea of entertainment. Another great thought provoking and relatable post Gary.
I closely (personally) relate to what youve written. If we dont take personal responsibility to protect our auras, physical & psychic boundaries someone/thing else is actively striving to; in most cases, succeeding. Their 'agent Smith' [Matrix] is in each of our homes disguised as a TV. Turn them off.

It's not just people with chronic conditions who are affected by the "vibes" of those around them. My mother used to come to the country with me, along with a care giver. I remember that I was SEVERELY allergic to one. She came only once. Then, I'm thinking of someone else - painfully negative (for me, anyway). I have a major allergic reaction to her. I also have profoundly positive reactions to some people. Again, I'm thinking of someone. I can feel my body relax at the thought of her.
Also, you mention Steven Porges (I think I have the spelling right). He's one of the experts in a favorite site I've long subscribed to - on neuro-biology. The name is a mouthful: National Institute for the Application of Behavioral Medicine.
very interesting concepts here, made me think! Also I appreciated that you make a distinction between explaining something and excusing it, something I find is often not done (in a general sense I mean, not only specifically to your topic).

Amazing awesome visceral....music was disturbing but so reflected the extremis.
For me it represented how even within frailty and fragility there is such inner strength to go on.
