  • I think if you listen carefully there is no contradiction. My point is that this aesthetic history is not the end story of butoh. Hijikata's early work was far more radical and for many current mature butoh dancers that starting point is more interesting than some of the more codified later developments in the history of butoh. 

  • hard talk

  • Reminds me of something right out of Silent Hill

  • I think her interpretation of the anti-aesthetic re: "what is" Butoh is not good dance scholarship.

    You can trace the history of Butoh from both an aesthetic standpoint as well as from a technique standpoint. In fact the documentation supporting both lines of study is quite available for the dedicated researcher.

  • i disagree.

    i've seen the whole video, and she doesn't know what she's talking about

    she just makes it up as she goes along
