An Indefinability of Butoh Dance & Theater

“An Art Form in Transition“

Playfulness is the mindset of a sense of joy that is what brings Butoh a dance form and we all know the joy of knowing and not knowing at the same time is great for the soul—and we are soul nothing less and nothing more. It is subjective, and that’s good about it. That’s why Butoh enthralled me that much — it breaks with rules and traditional styles of dancing, it catches you, pulls you inside, and lets you live your own pain, your own joy.

Butoh is an avant-garde performance art, that has its origins in Japan in the 1960s. Butoh loosely translated means stomp dance or earth dance. The great master Hijikata believed that by distorting the body, and by moving slowly on bent legs he could get away from the traditional idea of the beautiful body, and return to a more organic natural beauty. The beauty of an old woman bent against a sharp wind, as she struggles home with a basket of rice on her back. Or the beauty of a lone child splashing about in a mud puddle – this was a natural movement. Butoh and Dance Therapy can heal the mind, body, and soul.

Another aspect of Butoh, that I find especially appealing is that every “body” is a perfect body. Meaning we are not so concerned as to whether or not the student has the perfectly fit and lithe body of a trained dancer, but rather that s/he finds organic expression through the body they have now.
