The essence of Utooto is crafted to create a solid foundation in which the fractal unfoldment of the greater mystery of life can reveal its weavings upon. The formation and performance of the project has been an Imagine Festival exclusive since its origination. The word Utooto is an Okinawan invocation priests or mystics state to open the intention for a blessing or healing to take place. The precense of Utooto is based around live performances which are uniquely channeled from the energetic alchemy of the present moment. Masaru Higasa is the founding force of the vision and creation of Utooto.

These dances are a gift from my soul to yours ❤

Dance has become a part of me and shaped who I am. My passion for dance stems from the 90s, when I first discovered London's vibrant house music scene. Looking for opportunities to dance without all the associated pressures of a big night out, I discovered the legendary YMCA club in Soho, with its lively sober-rave vibe featuring a range of aerobics classes. Before long I had qualified as an aerobics teacher, and used my evolving DJ skills to mix the soundtracks for my own high-energy, choreographed classes at the club.
Following the birth of my daughter I left clubbing and aerobics behind, but over the past 15 years I’ve embraced London’s ever-expanding world of Conscious Dance, and for the past 5 years I have been facilitating my own ecstatic dance sessions. My facilitation is underpinned by over a dozen years of training in a gentle yet profound yoga-based somatic awareness and movement practice which emphasizes tuning in to physical and emotional sensations, fostering deeper connections with self and others. I am known to inspire nourishing, energising and joyful experiences on the dancefloor.

My live DJ sets include a blend of music genres from tribal beats, afro, latin, organic, progressive, uplifting house through to techno. I intuitively weave powerful rhythms and harmonies to help you journey through your emotions, shake off physical and emotional tensions and move towards a rich sense of wholeness, of connection with yourself and others.

We can‘t always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it !!!

DJ & owner of Arillas Soundgarden on the beautiful island of Corfu in Greece. Host of the year-round weekly Ecstatic Dance on Sunday mornings since 01/2023.

For me, ecstatic dance is art, culture, joy and healing. As a DJ and dancer, it allows you to free yourself from things that you are unconsciously stuck in… and you can do that just by going through your own automatically triggered processes through the music and the energy in the field of all the dancers present.

In the 80s/90s I was a successful vinyl DJ and club owner (Unterhaus Karlsruhe). I was a resident DJ in Frankfurt (Dorian Gray), Stuttgart (ZAP), Pforzheim (Skandal, Café Cairo) and many more. I also had DJ bookings in Ibiza (Pasha, Amnesia), Zürich (Rohstofflager, Oxa, Streetparade), Berlin (Planet, UFO, Loveparade) and many more. 

My personal highlight was to play together a „back-to-back“ with the legendary „Grandmaster Flash“ at a B-Boy battle in 1997.

About my DJ name „SpaceDeer“:

The deer as a shamanic power animal represents a clear, heart-centered presence in the space. It embodies gentle alertness: being fully present, sensing subtly, without the need to control. This quality is central in „SpaceDeer‘s“  role as an Ecstatic Dance DJ and dancer - it keeps the dance floor safe, open, and alive.

The cyclical nature of the antlers mirrors the arc of a set: a conscious opening, an intense unfolding, and a clear, calm landing. Nothing is held onto; everything is allowed to transform. The deer leads through embodied presence rather than action, inviting authentic expression without pressure or performance.

The space in the DJ name „SpaceDeer“ refers to the field that is opened and held through music. It is the invisible container in which dancers can arrive, let go, explore, and return. Space means awareness, timing, and restraint - knowing when to guide, when to stay out of the way, and when silence or simplicity carries more power than intensity.

Together, „SpaceDeer“ stands for holding a clear, grounded space with the sensitivity, dignity, and heart of the deer - creating depth, trust, and transformation without forcing anything.

About Ecstatic Dance:

Ecstatic Dance is a danced meditation that frees people from things they're stuck in. As DJs we start with longer intros without beats and slowly transform the energy to one or two peeks to get the dancers really ecstatic... we also try to go through different energies - sadness, anger, happieness, freedom, peace … and a variety of genres and extraordinaire/crazy tracks are welcome. But always organic electronic dance music is a base of the sets. At the end there is also a longer phase with slow beats or just sounds/noises to bring the dancers to the floor and guide them to lie still on the floor for 5-10 minutes... to integrate their inner processes that have unfolded during the dance.

Main rules of ecstatic dance:

- no talking during the dance
- be sober (no alcohol or drugs)
- dance barefoot
- no judgement of your own or others movements/behaviours
- contact dance is welcome, but only in respect of your own - and of the others boarders.

About Soundgarden:

A well-equipped, year-round venue and retreat was created by man and nature together to serve as a high-vibrational field to connect, retreat, celebrate, move, listen, dance and transform.
