BUTOH CHOREO LAB #4
Demonstration & Short Lecture by SUZUKI YUKIO (with Vietnamese, English subtitle)

About SUZUKI YUKIO

Yukio Suzuki is a dancer and choreographer. In 1997 he began studying butoh dance and later performed in works by Ko Murobushi and so on. And in 2000 he founded his own company “YUKIO SUZUKI Projects”. The basic principle of his interpretation is not the technique, but the character of the dance language, for which he has been acclaimed even outside of his native Japan. He has been touring around over 40 cities in the world, and his pliant, delicate and tenacious movements have been enthralling the audience. Recently he has also been creating pieces for other dance companies and leads workshops.

BUTOH CHOREO LAB

The unique form of Butoh was born out of Japan in the 1960s. Today, Butoh is known internationally and there are practitioners all over the world, but as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, opportunities for people to access Butoh have plummeted. In such times, BUTOH CHOREO LAB aims to develop, popularise and pass on Butoh, by sharing Butoh dancers’ thoughts and techniques on choreography from the Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio to an online platform.
