butoh and some actual writing
i'm back.
been posting a bunch of butoh lately. that is because i have been observing a couple butoh workshops over the last few weeks.
yes, observing. i don't "do" butoh. i do not dance. of any kind. fat white guy got no rhythm. or talent. or desire.
however, i do light dance. and i have lit most of the theatrical performances of this group since 1999. we have done some interesting work in that time. some of the pieces have really gotten through i think.
i am not sure how much longer i will be working with them. they seem to be keeping me out of the loop. i pushed them pretty hard for a while. trying to get them to grow, to be a professional company, to have money for shows, etc. they kept blowing me off. now that they are actually trying to do some of the stuff i kept advocating they do, they have written me out. oh well. just my luck. to have a group that could have paid me to travel around the world doing shows finally start moving in that direction but without me.
oh well.

blurrier and blurrier...
i'm not sure if that really works, but oh well. now to the crappy images.
ok, not butoh. or is it...

i had to hide. catching butoh in the wild is rare. care is required.
strange movements in the dark seems to punctuate what i think may be the mating dance of the wild butoh.
notice the similarity to the first picture? maybe its just me.
