About the Event
DATE: Wednesday 4th September
TIME: 7-9pm (UK TIME)
Model: Ferzam Butoh
Description:
"A wonderful Butoh dancer beaming in all the way from Mexico awaits us, join us for an evening of scintillating poses that are contorted, dark and beautiful. Butoh is a form of dance originating from Japan in the late 1950s to early 1960s. It is an artistic response to the aftermath of the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings in WW2.
The art form is known to "resist fixity" and is difficult to define; notably, founder Hijikata Tatsumi viewed the formalisation of butoh with "distress". Common features of the art form include playful and grotesque imagery, taboo topics, and extreme or absurd environments. It is traditionally performed in white body makeup with slow hyper-controlled motion. However, with time butoh groups are increasingly being formed around the world, with their various aesthetic ideals and intentions."
Everyone is welcome!
