UCLA Butoh Symposium

Between Experiment Form and Culturalism: Butoh in History and Contemporary Practice is a groundbreaking symposium addressing the practice, cultural impact and history of the butoh dance form. The symposium itself sets the precedent of being the first academic symposium on butoh to be held at a North American university - University of Southern California Los Angeles. The site serves as a guide for to talks and performances for an international array of participants. It also serves as a record of the symposia. As a practicing butoh dancer the whole of the symposium proved to be an incredibly culturally affirming experience.
