This video shows excerpts from a full-length dance piece called “Tobari” performed by the famous Japanese Butoh dance company, Sankai Juku.
The movement is mesmerizing. It is breathtakingly beautiful and so powerful. The moving sculpture is gorgeous and the designs, costumes and dancers give a sense of other worldliness.
I have had the opportunity to see this piece live and I was drawn into a space of time that stood still, immersed in such beauty from another place for the whole performance!
Butoh is a Japanese Contemporary Dance form. One of it’s signature elements is slow moving organic sculptural images that seem timeless. The music is often quite driving and rhythmic.
This piece is outstanding and timeless!
I hope you enjoy it to and be sure to share it with your friends!
