Thank you so much. Really enjoy your work 😊

Fascinating. Really resonate with this as a musician.

I studied with Kazuo Ohno at his studio in Yokohama in 1992, when I was 38. I am 70 now. He said that I was a “ very good ghost”. I never quite understood what he meant at the time. Your videos are helping me understand many things about Kazuo Ohno and butoh.. very touching! Thank you! He asked me: “You come back?” when my study visa was up and I had to leave. I never did return, sadly. But his presence and the words he spoke when teaching have resonated deeply in my being all these years. He was the most endearing and inspirational person I have ever met.

,нет у японцев ни слуха ни голоса. Но какие нецке гениальные.

Your videos are helping me so much, thank you :)

It touched my heart! Kazuo Ohno's dance & you telling about him from the bottom of your heart. Lovely journey 🙏

When you mentioned Grotowski, I knew you were different.

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 video with all the rich information!

wow! soul exist! because i found this video and it is exactly what I'm feeling now and needed to hear. thank you!

Desenterrar pra gravar é sacanagem

Es verdaderamente perturbador

Thank you so much for this content! Can you please spell the last artist you mention (the one who uses decors) tysm 🤍

It has my like. It's okay, but I don't know it gives me a disturbing nihilistic feeling. I don't understand the artistic meaning of this. There is something morbid and masochistic that I dislike. There are works by Kobo Abe and especially Mishima that start well and then end in this unpleasant morbidity.

This is an amazing video. Thank you

Nice lecture

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 :’)

Didn't catch the book titles....

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❤

These videos are so good, thank you for such an introduction to Butoh

Very interesting analysis! I am working with 3 friends on our first Butoh production. I play Didgeridoo, one friend plays a beautiful collection of gongs, one produces liquid light shows and one dances. It’s a fascinating transformation!

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!

I found out about butoh today, i want to know more about the exact music played to butoh dances its composition ,atmosphere instruments and how it sets the mood probably in later videos

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.
