Butoh: A Body Over the Edge
Half a century has passed since the premiere of Tatsumi Hijikata's performance "Kinjiki" (1959), and now Butoh is spreading beyond national and regional borders. Performances and workshops are taking place all over the world, and research on Butoh is flourishing more than ever.
“Butoh: A Body Over the Edge" aims to connect international trends in Butoh practice and studies with domestic developments. In addition, we actively promote the research activities of the Tatsumi Hijikata Archive at Keio University Art Center.
