Butoh Dance Act

Butoh is a contemporary dance form that originated in Japan in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is a highly expressive and avant-garde style of dance that emerged as a response to the cultural and social changes occurring in Japan after World War II.

Butoh is often characterised by its slow, controlled, and often grotesque movements. It seeks to explore the depths of human experience, incorporating elements of darkness, vulnerability, and the subconscious. Butoh dancers aim to transcend conventional notions of beauty and challenge societal norms.
