Butoh at Bangka, Taipei 93

The feature of Butoh movements

I think some Butoh movements come from daily life.

Butoh also has traditional movements now because it has about 50 years history.

When the movements are performed again and again, it becomes strengthen, persuasive and attractive.

Sometimes the traditional movements lost the original meaning, so no one knows why it is formed.

There are usually density of emotions in each movements.

So, how I feel in the daily life is good training to create new steps and keep traditional steps.
