Description
Butoh: Cradling Empty Space by Vangeline offers a fresh perspective on this avant-garde Japanese performance art form. Through twenty years of research and interviews with top practitioners, the author sheds light on butoh's origins in modern dance, French mime, and the surrealist movement. This book provides a comprehensive guide to butoh, exploring its connection to neuroscience, the role of women in its development, and international influences on its evolution. With rare photographs, helpful graphics, and a detailed bibliography, it is an invaluable resource for dance students, teachers, performance art scholars, and anyone interested in choreography, theater, and Japanese history and culture. A handbook for those seeking to understand butoh, the book also offers insights into movement, gender, race, and universality.
