Past Butoh Dance Performances

2021

• Wake Up and Smell the Coffee Live stream and on-demand, April 22-30. Free. Between April 22nd and 30, 2021, Vangeline Theater shared archival footage of Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, a 60-minute butoh dance piece performed in 2017 at Triskelion Arts.Wake Up and Smell the Coffee utilizes the intensity of the art form butoh to convey a serious problem: the environmental repercussions of non-recyclable waste. The performers danced through garbage; a set made of 1500 collected unsalvageable coffee cups, illustrating the extensive amount of non-recyclable waste generated by society. Currently, Americans are responsible for a staggering 58% of the paper cup consumption in the world. This issue is directly linked to the threat of global warming. More info.

• Women Defining Butoh Festival, Oct 1st-31st, 2021. In October 2021, New York Butoh Institute presented a free virtual series highlighting women’s important contributions to butoh. Women Defining Butoh showcased recent works by two generations of women butoh pioneers. Featuring Natsu Nakajima, Saga Kobayashi, Yumiko Yoshioka, Minako Seki, and Yuko Kaseki. Following butoh’s migration from East to West, our series followed the spread of butoh in the US via Hiroko Tamano, who settled in San Francisco in 1980, and Joan Laage/Kogut Butoh, who first introduced butoh to Seattle in the 90s. Women Defining Butoh celebrates the legacy of these butoh legends with performances by the all-female troupe DAIPANbutoh Collective (Seattle), Mexican dancer Eugenia Vargas, Chicago-based dancer Cristal Sabbagh, and a live performance by New York-based company Vangeline Theater at Triskelion Art. As a tribute to departed female pioneers, Four Dances with the late Anzu Furukawa streamed the last week of the festival. To kick off this series, New York Butoh Institute administered, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Lifetime Achievement Awards to Natsu Nakajima, Saga Kobayashi, and Hiroko Tamano. https://www.vangeline.com/calendar-of-upcoming-events/2021/10/1/women-defining-butoh-a-virtual-butoh-fest-series
