| Summary |
"A History of Butô: Dancing in a Swirl of Imagery is a rip-roaring account of one of the most important and influential performance arts of the latter half of the 20th century. Tracing the performances and techniques of ten of the most important names in the first and second generation of butô, A History of Butô puts on display the mind-blowing creativity of the founders as well as the variety of directions taken by subsequent dancers. In addition, A History of Butô places these choreographer/dancers at the center of some of the most important issues of our time, such as the relationship between humans, technology and new media, and the status of gender and ethnicity"--Publisher's description |
