Walk and Butoh, The
- Synopsis
- The Japanese dancer Carlotta Ikeda, founder of the all-woman company Ariadone, is one of the foremost representatives of Butoh. In this video she is seen teaching a group of dancers and actors the fundamental concerns of the walk that underlie both Japanese Noh theatre and Butoh. Through physical and breathing practices, the participants are invited to attend to this slow, measured yet powerful form of movement.
