A friend is living at a beautiful Indonesian temple on Vashon. (That is not my picture, thanks whoever took it though!) A successful Seattle importer disassembled it in Indonesia then brought Balinese craftsmen to reassemble it here. A dream linking islands.
Tonight another dream unfolds linking islands.
Butoh originated in Japan. Initially all the performers were men. Women performers soon added their own inner body history. That is the story tonight.
Three performers, Jyl Shinjo Brewer, Maureen Freehill and Bridget Scott have all studied butoh and Zen in Japan for several years. Two started their training with Joan Laage, who studied with Hakutobo, an all woman group created by the founder of Butoh, Hijikata, in the last phase of his artistic development. So the lineage of the three is special and this night too.
This evening they present 3 Ways To Change.
The spot is small and private, so if you know me, contact me and I can provide more details.
On Vashon Island, Washington. 7:30PM $10
