Tetsuro Fukuhara aims to create
an amicable body in the space. The performer works on an optimum amicable
pose for each split second of time, taking into account the architectural
space. The performing body also relates to other bodies, objects and sounds
in this space. Fukahara bases his dance on Butoh, a minimal Japanese dance
first pioneered in post-war Japan. |
| For the last twenty years Fukahara
has headed a modern generation of Butoh entitled "New Butoh" which
pushes back the boundaries of form and explores a rigorous anti-technique
approach to the body in performance. |

Station, Edinburgh. |
