Butoh Dance Training

This is a terrible and a complete waste of money and not worth reading. It reads as a concoction of totally self indulgent and vain self-promotion notes, from a rather marginal figure in the butoh world, with poor content and absolutely no real insight or intelligence. This is such a shame as there do need to be more illuminating books on this fascinating and difficult to understand art form. I really don't think you can teach butoh dance training in a book.

very good about learning butoh

This is a highly recommended book. This is a Butoh instruction book written by a Japanese authentic Butoh dancer, and is sincere and simple to understand. It describes in detail each part of the body, how to practice and express using the face and voice, how to play on the stage, and Awareness of a Butoh dancer with long international experience. Based on Butoh, the content is rich in Japanese traditional dance, Noh, Drama, Noguchi gymnastics, and pantomime techniques. I think it will be useful for both dance professionals and the general public. I was training with this original book written in Japanese, as I heard that French and English versions were available and bought it.
