About the Workshop
This workshop will begin with a simple explanation of the
movement and methodology of Butoh and Butoh notation.
We will explore the importance of walking in butoh through a
number of exercises, such as Maya, the stick, pollen, the glance, and the burn
(or scald). From here we will seek various means of transformation into the
doll, the beast, the smoke, and the flower. We will pose questions about the
nature of the physical body as a medium, about whether the body can be passed
through, about what craziness is. We will seek ways to dance within the brain
or the nerves only, to walk only from the brain or nerves, to become
electricity, to experience the crisis of the body and of the mind, and to enter
the world of Francis Bacon. Reviewing this range of explorations and
experiences, the workshop will build towards the composition of a short work.
About Yukio Waguri
Yukio Waguri (born Tokyo, 1952) was the disciple and main
male dancer of Hijikata Tatsumi. He performed in a number of Hijikata’s works
such as 27 Nights for Four Seasons (1972) and A Silent House (1973), as well as
many Hakutobo performances (1974-78), and has performed worldwide since 1990.
His dance is characterized by many nuances of style – from the rigid to the
flexible, the sharp to the delicate, the beautiful to the grotesque. It often
explores a transformation through different subjects and suggests new possible
ways of working in dance. Waguri works with the unique lineage of Hijikata’s
butoh-fu to draw out physical images through a particular attention to
language. His release of the Butoh Kaden CD in 1998 provided an opportunity for
the re-evaluation of the Hijikata method. As well as various performance
activities, including collaborations with artists from diverse genres, Waguri
holds workshops widely in association with research organizations and
universities, both locally and overseas.
