【Course Objectives】

This class focuses on butoh (or ankoku butoh) which is an avant-garde dance form arose in the 1960s, in Japan. The goal of this class is to understand its history and aesthetics and its social and political context. The butoh is situated on a very turning point of a dance history in 20th century. We will analyze this phenomenon through images, texts, and critiques. While the class mainly focuses on butoh, students will achieve mastery of academic research skills in the field of dance and performance studies in general (e.g. conducting literature searches, writing a graduation paper, presenting) from critical reading of texts, and analysis of aesthetics and artist strategies. 

【Course Contents】

Lectures will provide an introduction to butoh and there will be discussion of dance pieces, with reference to videos. Students will read texts about butoh and dance studies and will present brief reports. In the second half of the semester, students will read aloud a text « The Sick Dancer » by Hijikata Tatsumi, a founder of butoh. The text seems difficult to understand, but we will find the richness of its world and thought about body expressed in it through reading aloud.
