I love Butoh! So much fun to film! Butoh is an avant-garde Japanese dance-theatre form that emerged in the late 1950s following World War II. Co-created by Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno, it acts as an anti-establishment counterculture movement that embraces the grotesque, absurdity, and extreme human emotions. Performers typically use slow, hyper-controlled movements and white body paint.

A Nava Dance Collective installation "On Wings of Love." Gorgeous music "Ta Poulia" by Stelios Petrakis & Bijan Chemirani Choreographed & Directed by Miriam Peretz "Ta Poulia" The nightingales hide in the coolness of the bushes, And silence reaches them, granting them their song. Their voices scatter and they bend the quiet, With the melody of love to which they are bound. It seeks the deep cave of stillness, To gather kisses through its song. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 The deep cave of stillness...
