Butoh Festival #5 Thailand

Butoh Festival #5 Thailand

I had a one months workshop with students of Chaing Mai University of Thailand and Japanese dancers group 10 years ago.
It was a collaboration among International WOW company in Thailand and Dance Rhizome from Japan.
All members were so young arround twenty, they were so energetic and full of rebellious spirit.
We created several collaboration peices together and performed at various places as
photos above. It is so dear memories for me.
Because, it was the first event of my world tour which continued for three years.
Ten years has passed from then.
Now I know that some of them become the host of the Butoh Festival Thailand.
I am so glad that they have overcome the hard conditions, and develope energeticly.
Dear Jaa, Jay, Kange, and everybody!
I love your spirits. Hope to go well.
