BUTOH dance

Butoh is a contemporary avant-garde dance form which originated in Japan and which was first performed there in 1959.

It combines dance, theater, improvisation and influences of Japanese traditional performing arts with German Expressionist dance (Neue Tanz) and performance art to create a unique performing art form that is both controversial and universal in its expression. It has evolved to become an international art form ..
