I love that I can now tell people, when they ask about butoh, to "Go and see Momo!" and they can come here. (That, and I would echo Pamela's comment above. Thank you so, so, so very much.)

Hi! I'm Anne Selby-I'm the girl that danced Butoh with Joe Talkington for years in Hawaii. You clicked me on as a facebook friend. Yeah not sure why I can't comment on the videos-oh well I will just watch and enjoy them.
Take care-Much Aloha-Anne :)

I tried to make a comment after the Video "A Question of Family" with Kazuo Ohno, But I wasn't able to? maybe we need to be friends first, I clicked you on as a friend! :D
Aloha-Anne :)
