Butoh is a corpse standing straight up in a desperate bid for life

"When I begin to wish I were crippled --even though I am perfectly healthy -- or rather that I would have been better off born a cripple, that is the first step towards butoh." Tatsumi Hijikata

Rui Shan, please. Free yourself from dance.

Only then can you understand Butoh.

------------------------------------------------------

I am extremely worried. Even Julius said it's not easy. It's something so deep down within you that you have to dig out. It's so.. dark. And it isnt something I can find and realize within a week. Hijikata, help me :(

And usually, dancers are the ones who find it difficult to do Butoh. "Modern dance is too talkative". I'm now doing something that strongly goes against what I normally do. Wow. Trying to excel in both extreme ends here. Fuck it.
