About Butoh 5. Aesthetics of Butoh

This is the fifth part of a seven part series on butoh, the mysterious performance style that began in Japan in the late 1950s. In future episodes I’ll be discussing the history of butoh, the aesthetics of butoh and butoh’s relationship with Western Art. I’ll update this description with links to the other episodes as they are posted. I’ll also update the bibliography below as I fill it in with further details.
