Takao Kawaguchi ‘BARA-IRO Dance Project’ Gypsum Workshop

  • photo by bozzo

1/1

Atypical dancers Takao Kawaguchi and Mikiko Kawamura confront Butoh with chaotic aesthetics provoked by “Rose-Colored-Dance” (1965), a representative work of the early period of the founder of Butoh, Tatsumi Hijikata.
In the second year of this long-term project, along with a Butoh dancer in his eighties as well as young dancers in their twenties, they will give an impulse to a sense of stagnation in contemporary society with their shooting brightness.

At the end of the residency, a workshop will be held in which participants will actually apply plaster, which was used as a substitute for white powder in the early days of Butoh dance, to their bodies.
