Asia Butoh Tree's Butoh Camp
Asia Butoh Tree's Butoh Camp is a camp that gathers participants from countries in Asia with different backgrounds and with their own unique customs and traditions participants will live and eat together while learning about each other's culture.
Up until now, we have been conducting Hijikata's Butoh style Butoh camp in various countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
This time the camp will be in Ugomachi, Akita. Akita is the birthplace of Hijikata and Ugomachi is where Hijikata's photo book has been stored [KAMAITACHI].
You can feel a lot of emotions from this place where the scenery of old Japan remains.
Like what Hijikata experienced, we’ll receive inspiration from this land and take on the challenge to apply Hijikata’s technique in dancing.
Food is also one of the enjoyments at Butoh Tree’s Butoh Camp. We will have food cooked by local and cook food together as collaboration of many different cultures.
We’ll be waiting for your participation!
