  • The Sought for Butoh Body: Tatsumi Hijikata's Cultural Rejection And
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DSpace at Waseda University Transcommunication Vol.3-1 Spring 2016 Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies Article The Sought For Butoh Body: Tatsumi Hijikata’s Cultural Rejection and Creation Julie Valentine Dind Abstract This paper studies the influence of both Japanese and Western cultures on Hijikata Tatsumi’s butoh dance in order to problematize the relevance of butoh outside of the cultural context in which it originated. While it is obvious that cultural fusion has been taking place in the most recent developments of butoh dance, this paper attempts to show that the seeds of this cultural fusion were already present in the early days of Hijikata’s work, and that butoh dance embodies his ambivalence toward the West. Moreover this paper furthers the idea of a universal language of butoh true to Hijikata’s search for a body from the “world which cannot be expressed in words”1 but only danced. The research revolves around three major subjects. First, the shaping power European underground literature and German expressionist dance had on Hijikata and how these influences remained present in all his work throughout his entire career. Secondly, it analyzes the transactions around the Japanese body and Japanese identity that take place in the work of Hijikata in order to see how Western culture might have acted as much as a resistance as an inspiration in the creation of butoh. Third, it examines the unique aspects of Hijikata’s dance, in an attempt to show that he was not only a product of his time but also aware of the shaping power of history and actively fighting against it in his quest for a body standing beyond cultural fusion or history.

  • 1 Arts, Health and Wellbeing All Party Parliamentary Group
    Arts, Health and Wellbeing All Party Parliamentary Group The Care Act How the arts and culture can contribute to improving the quality of care following the Francis Inquiry Wednesday July 2nd 4-5pm Room C, 1 Parliament St. SW1A 2NE Notes from the meeting Welcome and Introduction by the Rt Hon. Lord Howarth of Newport The subject of the meeting is the Care Act and how the arts can contribute to humanising health care. The Francis Inquiry has driven home the message that bureaucracy and procedures must not suppress imagination and humanity. It has been important in the development of the Care Act. This APPG is focused on how we can influence the guidance for Local Authorities in connection with the Care Act. Sir Robert Francis QC believes the arts have a role to play in delivering better healthcare. The history of arts and health goes back to the asclepeion at Epidaurus, where the theatre was next to, and integral to, the place of healing. In hospitals, functional processes tend to delete humanity and personal dignity. Staff can have their humanity crushed out of them by bureaucratic processes. They are often bleak environments without pictures on the walls, with exceptions such as Chelsea and Westminster. How can staff take pride in such environments, or care about keeping them clean? Although the connection with his Inquiry and the Care Act is primarily about compliance, the ward ‘culture’ can be very limiting. The Care Act emphasises the duty of local authorities to deliver individual wellbeing in relation to personal dignity and participation in work, education, training or recreation, as well as the individual’s contribution to society.

    Bios of PQ Projects Participants | Page 1 15-L. FILMS Sala Beckett / Theatre and International Drama Centre (Performance Space Exhibition) 15-L. FILMS is a production company based in Barcelona, created in 2013 by Carlota Coloma and Adrià Lahuerta. They produce documentaries for cinema and other platforms, and for agencies and clients who want to explore the documentary genre in all its possibilities. Their productions have been selected and awarded in many festivals: MiradasDoc, Milano International Documentary Festival, HotDocs and DOCSMX among others. They have been selected to participate in several workshops and pitches such as: IDW Visions du Réel; Cross Video Days; Docs Barcelona. ABRA ENSEMBLE Hall I + Abra Ensemble (Performance Space Exhibition) ABRA Ensemble's works aspire to undermine existing power structures as they express themselves in the voice, language patterns and ways of speech. They seek rather communal, feminist strategies of composition, listening and creative-coexistence. Exposing the emergence of the music itself, ABRA Ensemble bridges the existing limits between contemporary virtuoso vocal art and the performative, transformative encounter with an audience. In the five years since its founding in 2013, the ensemble has performed at a diverse range of venues in Israel and Europe, released a debut album and gained considerable recognition both in the new-music and contemporary performance scene. YARON ABULAFIA Jury Member 2019 / PQ Ambassador Yaron Abulafia has designed over 200 theatre and dance performances, installations, concerts and television shows internationally. He has designed for the Netherlands Dans Theater, the English National Ballet, Rambert Dance Company, Staatsballett Berlin, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba and the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj in Romania – to mention but a few.
