Thanks for posting. Very informative and a few of the artists mentioned I haven't researched before. Also I didn't know Kazuo Ohno said that line about that Jesus was a butoh master. Because Evengelical churches already have crazy bodies, it makes me want to do butoh at a church.
Bob it would be great to explore the western take on Butoh, on how the teaching has transformed in the west and how it develops. Also I wanted to ask you if anybody combined dancing and playing an instrument on stage. Thank again for this video,
That's a good idea for a future video. I have played drums as part of a butoh performance once or twice, but I always found the transition from body focused to playing an instrument to feel a little unnatural. I'm sure If I worked on it more, I could have found a way to incorporate it better.
Thank you for this video with all the rich information!
Exactly! Thank you for this video. Greetings from Poland
I would add Tadeusz Kantor's Theatre of Death
@@LimenButoh_pl Glad you enjoyed the video. I've never heard of Tadeusz Kantor's work. I will definitely look into it. Thanks for the tip.
Nice lecture

Ha! I performed once with a group called the Butoh Rockettes, directed by Celeste Hastings, at the old St. Mark's Church in the East village in NYC.
