Join us for a unique opportunity to journey back nearly half a century into the world of Tatsumi Hijikata’s butoh choreography.
Over the course of four days of intensive workshops, we will rediscover choreographic phrases from works of the late 1970s with dancers who originally performed in them, Saga Kobayashi and Moe Yamamoto. Through a combination of rare video recordings, dancers’ notebooks from the time, and the embodied memories of Kobayashi and Yamamoto, we will go behind the scenes of Hijikata’s choreographic creation. Workshops will be limited to 20 participants and free of charge. Applications will be accepted until September 20.
