A Book on Butoh: Dancing in the Americas
Nov 17, 2020
Tanya Calamoneri, assistant professor in the School of Theatre and Dance, has dedicated much of the last two decades to studying butoh’s transformation from a form of protest street art into a dance aesthetic exported across the world to the Americas. Her book, "Butoh America," which is set to publish in 2021, profiles contemporary artists who have incorporated butoh’s now-recognizable attributes into their own arts as protest.
