Wow, I absolutely love this video! As someone who has studied and practiced Butoh for a while now, it's so refreshing to see such a well-explained and beautifully presented video. The aesthetics of Butoh are truly mesmerizing, and this series is doing a fantastic job of capturing its essence. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of art with us!
Hi Bob, I practiced Butoh for a short while in London with Lorna Marshal, teacher at the City Lit in Covent Garden. I have seen Sankai Juku, Koffi Koko, they all inspired me much with my dancing journey. Thank you, I enjoyed your talk and will share it❤
Thank you so much for this transmission of the heart, the very essence of life. Butoh offers the path to total freedom... 🙏 And thank you for your emotion, palpable..
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ butoh it's so difficult to describe because it is so vast, and this is super clear, point by point. And I love the quotes and your personal experiences. Thank you!
This is a very important and precious video. Just validated everything that I felt about Butoh without having any formal training. The whole concept of Butoh somehow goes against the structure of what a formal dance training would entail. Need to feel the universe more. Need to feel the connection that we hold with our surroundings ecology and Butoh is the key to this door :’)
I just got out of a butoh workshop. Since the workshop is about practice and technique with a sufficient touch to the concepts, this video helps me a lot to get better understanding.
Glad you found this helpful. Butoh is such a vast subject, you couldn't possibly cover it all in a single workshop. I hope that this series can inspire people to find their own way into the work..
Unfortunately, my circumstances do not allow me to invest the time that I would like to, but the existence of butoh and the information as well as from you are very important to me and I would like to thank you very much for your subtle explanations. It inspires me a lot to continue where I once stopped. Thank you very much.
Great video, thanks! Could you please share the reference of the San Francisco performance with the "small" woman 'growing' on a dress with strings in the shoulders? I don't know how the spelling of the name you mention is and I am unable to retrieve it from the internet. Greatly appreciated !!
Thank you for this information. I had my first foray into Butoh at a dance program this summer. It opened something inside of me. Do you have any recommendations on where I can find companies and schools in the US and abroad? I would like to continue to study Butoh.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and understanding of Butoh, from Japanontology!

Thanks for the kind words. The group you are wondering about are called Butoh Sha Tenkei.
Thank you so much for this content! Can you please spell the last artist you mention (the one who uses decors) tysm 🤍
I think you mean, Sankai Juku, An astounding group. Their founder and choreographer, Ushio Amagatsu, just passed away this past March.
Thank you for this information. I had my first foray into Butoh at a dance program this summer. It opened something inside of me. Do you have any recommendations on where I can find companies and schools in the US and abroad? I would like to continue to study Butoh.
When you mentioned Grotowski, I knew you were different.
Did you make all that up as you went along? What?
there are some additional important nuances...
