Hijikata Anniversary Butoh Workshop with Jordan Rosin (Eureka, CA) – 2017/01/22
Sunday, January 22, 2017, 3pm – 6pm
at Synapsis Nova, 212 G Street, Eureka, CA 95501
Tatsumi Hijikata (March 9, 1928 – January 21, 1986), founder of butoh is well-known for his exacting choreographic approach and his butoh-fu, extensive poetic notations of his ankoku butoh (dance of utter darkness) experiments. In this workshop, participants will explore a few of the techniques of butoh dance, including heritaged choreography such as Hijikata’s “bugs walk”, then work with partners to create their own poetic notation of improvised dances.
