Movement Matters: Body/Mind/Funk/Time

A movement primer by Michael Sakamoto

Butoh and American street dance each grew out of conditions of socio-economic crisis in the post-World War II era in Japan and the U.S. With elements inspired by both movement practices, Michael leads exercises to demonstrate a unique blend of intercultural and self-reflexive performance embodiment.

Sponsored by the Performing Arts Series, the Department of Dance, and the Rothrock Family Residency Fund. The presentation of time/life/beauty and associated events is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and the Mellon Foundation.
