Butoh Online Movement Course
by Nobonke ~ 'we|are|all|together|now'
Pioneer Group
The Butoh movement practice was born
out of the devastation following the atomic bombings
of Japan in 1945 ~ to dance pretty became obscene.
Covid-19 is an expression of a wider catastrophe
affecting the health of life on the planet.
Our response to this phenomenon may unfold as an
expression of courage, honesty and authentic humanity
guided by the Butoh aesthetic.
