'Routledge Performance Practitioners' is a series of introductory guides to the key theatre-makers of the last century. Each volume explains the background to and the work of one of the major influences on twentieth- and twenty-first-century performance. These compact, well-illustrated and clearly written books unravel the contribution of modern theatre's most charismatic innovators. 'Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo' is the first book to combine: an account of the founding of Japanese butoh through the partnership of Hijikata and Ohno, extending to the larger story of butoh's international assimilation. an exploration of the impact of the social and political issues of post World War II Japan on the aesthetic development of butoh. metamorphic dance experiences that students of butoh can explore. a glossary of English and Japanese terms. As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on tofurther, primary research, 'Routledge Performance Practitioners 'are unbeatable value for today's student.

Abstract

"Dancing Into Darkness is Sondra Horton Fraleigh's chronological diary of her deepening understanding of and appreciation for this art form, as she moves from a position of aesthetic response as an audience member to that of assimilation as a student. As a student of Zen and butoh, Fraleigh witnesses her own artistic and personal transformation through essays, poems, interviews, and reflections spanning twelve years of study, much of it in Japan. Numerous performance photographs and original calligraphy by Fraleigh's Zen teacher Shodo Akane illuminate her words."--Jacket "Butoh, also known as "dance of darkness," is a postmodern dance form that began in Japan as an effort to recover the primal body, or "the body that has not been robbed," as butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata put it. Butoh has become increasingly popular in the United States and throughout the world, diversifying its aesthetic, while at the same time asserting the power of its spiritual foundations."--Jacket
