LECTURE-DEMONSTRATION with CD-ROM and Panelists November 5 (SU) 2 PM
Seattle Art Museum

YUKIO WAGURI (Kohzensha) will give a Lecture-Demonstration on Butoh's history and choreography. A disciple of Butoh's founder, Tatsumi Hijikata, beginning in 1972, Waguri has selected 88 pieces of BUTOH-FU among his notes taken while Hijikata choreographed. With his CD-ROM Waguri can share his teacher's unique method created to "awaken and embody physical images through words." Waguri has divided these words, "Butoh -fu" ("fu" means score in Japanese) into "7 worlds" according to certain characteristics and arranged them as a CD-ROM which is in English and Japanese and available internationally.
