Butoh Through the Lens

30 May 2013 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

| Free

‘Butoh Through the Lens’ This film screening and talk, introducing short films about Butoh dance, will be presented by Florencia Guerberof, performer and founder of Asian Performing Arts UK. Firstly, she will show her own film recordings entitled ‘Impressions’ featuring Yoshito Ono and ‘Duration’ which reflect her own impressions during her research on Butoh dance in Japan during 2009. The screening will continue with the documentary ‘Still Move’ by Marieke Schroeder. The film portrays Japanese dancer and choreographer Saburo Teshigawara who creates a fusion of Butoh principles and postmodern elements.

This screening is part of the 4ooth Anniversary of Japan-British Relations.  It is our intention to relate Japanese and Western contemporary dance and theatre practices. We hope that Japanese and Western art forms will feed each other creatively.

The event will start at 7pm, followed by a drinks reception to 9:00pm
