Butoh artist
A performance by Ken Mai, a Japanese Butoh artist, choreographer, teacher, singer and yogi, now living in Helsinki, Finland but originally from Nara, Japan. Once regarded as one of Japan’s more bizarre artistic endeavors, Butoh began in post-war Japan as an avant-garde dance form that ran counter to the prevailing performance arts winds. It has since spread its tendrils across the globe and is now performed and adored worldwide. Butoh is usually characterized by dancers covered head-to-toe in white body paint, slow and arrhythmic body contortions expressing a confluence of anguish and rapture, and a dedication to form and improvisation that is deeply connected to the nature of being. Ken Mai studied under butoh founder Kazuo Ohno and was a member of the Byakko Sha butoh company in Kyoto, Japan.
