Skip to0 minutes and 6 seconds每个人都遇到了一种叫做Butoh的舞蹈形式吗？Butoh是来自日本的表演艺术流派。它始于1950年代后期，因此只有大约60年的历史，但在那段时间内已经在国际上传播。在本课程中，我们将专注于世界上第一位Butoh舞者Tatsumi Hijikata。所以，自我介绍。我是凯奥大学艺术中心策展人沃特纳贝（Yohko Watanabe）。艺术中心是一家研究机构，重点关注战后日本艺术。我们的活动之一是管理Tatsumi Hijikata档案。Tatsumi Hijikata创造了Butoh Dance，研究了现代舞蹈和古典芭蕾舞。
Skip to1分钟0秒He shaped butoh both as a rejection of those preceding dance forms and in response to the influence of European philosophy and art. So, we might want to ask exactly what kind of context could have given rise to butoh? We will begin this course by exploring Hijikata’s creation of butoh dance from the 1950s to 1960s, in order to get a sense of what is meant by the term “butoh.” From here, we will turn to the revolution of butoh during the 1970s, which will be the focus of week 2 of the course. In the 1970s, Hijikata began to explore new ideas, themes, and techniques, at the same time as refining a new choreographic method.

And it is this form of butoh notation, or “butoh fu,” that will be the focus of the third week. Building on your understanding of Hijikata’s butoh method from week 2, we will be delving into the world of Hijikata’s “notational butoh.” This will be framed in relation to the other ways in which dance notation has developed internationally. Though it is over 30 years since Hijikata passed away in 1986, the dancers who learned butoh under his direction continue to preserve the heritage and aesthetics of his dance form.
Skip to2分43秒In the last week, we will be looking at the dissemination and reception of butoh internationally, and at the international research of butoh. Finally, we will wrap things up by thinking about the development and future of butoh. Throughout the course, we will be making use of archival documents housed at the Art Center. We will also be inviting guest teachers like Rosa van Hensbergen, who researches dance notation and butoh dance to offer you a wide range of perspectives on the dance form. Our hope is that, through learning about butoh dance, your eyes will be opened to a new art form, created in the far East in the late 20th century.
