Performing Arts: Dance Harvesting Beauty in the Dark: Butoh Dance Performance

  • Kan_large
Butoh emerged in '60s Japan as a new mode of physical expression, twisting traditional and Western dance techniques into a choreographed response to post-A-bomb existence. With exaggerated yet incredibly precise movements and often daubed with ghostly white paint, butoh dancers invoke narratives and pinpoint emotions with visually arresting physicality. For this performance, renowned dancer and instructor Katsura Kan collaborates with dancers from several companies to perform a series of dance vignettes in a style they're calling "post-butoh," adding to and revising the art form's language.
