About Butoh 5. Aesthetics of Butoh
Фильм және анимация
This is the fifth part of a seven part series on butoh, the mysterious performance style that began in Japan in the late 1950s. In future episodes I’ll be discussing the history of butoh, the aesthetics of butoh and butoh’s relationship with Western Art.
I’ll update this description with links to the other episodes as they are posted. I’ll also update the bibliography below as I fill it in with further details.

wow! soul exist! because i found this video and it is exactly what I'm feeling now and needed to hear. thank you!
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❤
This is beautiful and so helpful. Thank you so much Bob!
These were great! Please bring em back
Wonderful, thank you.
thank you for this explanation, you enabled me to understand it intuitively
well described, beautiful!
These videos are so good, thank you for such an introduction to Butoh
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ butoh it's so difficult to describe because it is so vast, and this is super clear, point by point. And I love the quotes and your personal experiences. Thank you!
Thank you for this talk. It's incredibly useful to those of us exploring the depths of butoh.

It's so gratifying to me to see that people are getting something meaningful; from this series. Thanks so much for your feedback!
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!
thanks so much for sharing your experiences and feelings about butoh, im from Chile and this kind of videos are very helpful, thanks thanks thanks n.n
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 :’)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and understanding of Butoh, from Japanontology!

Glad you enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, my circumstances do not allow me to invest the time that I would like to, but the existence of butoh and the information as well as from you are very important to me and I would like to thank you very much for your subtle explanations. It inspires me a lot to continue where I once stopped. Thank you very much.

Love your authenticity
I just got out of a butoh workshop. Since the workshop is about practice and technique with a sufficient touch to the concepts, this video helps me a lot to get better understanding.

Glad you found this helpful. Butoh is such a vast subject, you couldn't possibly cover it all in a single workshop. I hope that this series can inspire people to find their own way into the work..
Thank you so much for this content! Can you please spell the last artist you mention (the one who uses decors) tysm 🤍

I think you mean, Sankai Juku, An astounding group. Their founder and choreographer, Ushio Amagatsu, just passed away this past March.
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.
Did you make all that up as you went along? What?
there are some additional important nuances...
