Now re-issued, this compact book unravels the contribution of one of modern theatre¿s most charismatic innovators. Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo combines:
¿ an account of the founding of Japanese butoh through the partnership of Hijikata and Ohno, extending to the larger story of butoh¿s international assimilation
¿ an exploration of the impact of the social and political issues of post-World War II Japan on the aesthetic development of butoh
¿ metamorphic dance experiences that students of butoh can explore
¿ a glossary of English and Japanese terms.
As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today¿s student.
