Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo (Routledge Performance Practitioners)

Now re-issued, this compact book unravels the contribution of one of modern theatre?s most charismatic innovators. Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo combines: ? an account of the founding of Japanese butoh through the partnership of Hijikata and Ohno, extending to the larger story of butoh?s international assimilation ? an exploration of the impact of the social and political issues of post-World War II Japan on the aesthetic development of butoh ? metamorphic dance experiences that students of butoh can explore ? a glossary of English and Japanese terms. As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today?s student.
