  • A short clip of butoh's co-founder Kazuo Ono dancing. Date unknown, approximately 1980 (no later than 1989), from the documentary Dance of Darkness by Edin Velez.
    Kazuo Ohno passed away today, June 1, 2010, at the age of 103. We lost a great man and a great light to dancers and performers around the world. May we all be blessed with a life as full and rewarding as his was.

    I was just reading AnOther magazine, and I saw his quote, and came straight to this video:
    "There are an infinity of ways in which you can move from that spot over there to here. But have you figured out those movements in your head, or are we seeing your soul in motion? Even that fleck at the tip of your nail embodies your soul... the essential thing is that your movements, even when you're standing still, embody your soul at all times."

    "The Crying Light is dedicated to the great dancer Kazuo Ohno. In performance I watched him cast a circle of light upon the stage, and step into that circle, and reveal the dreams and reveries of his heart. He seemed to dance in the eye of something mysterious and creative; with every gesture he embodied the child and the feminine divine. He's kind of like my art parent." - Antony Hegarty

    This is a fascinating video....I know nothing of butoh, and not much about Japanese culture, but I've heard white symbolizes death. Is that the reason for the all-white outfit?

    • @BobDeNatale0
      @BobDeNatale0  Рік тому +2

      The all-white make-up can mean different things for different artists. For some it might be meant to suggest both a corpse and a ghost, and so the body/spirit dichotomy. For most butoh artists, I think it represents an attempt to eliminate the self or the ego and so be able to embody something universal, and dance from a place of non intention. Even putting on the makeup can become a ritual, a meditation to prepare to perform.
