Screening | Choreographer Hijikata's original 1976 production of Costume en Face

Saturday, January 9, 2016, 5:00 pm

Free

A legendary figure in the history of art and contemporary dance, Tatsumi Hijikata (1928-1986) was the founding father of the radical dance form that he called Butoh. Some of his Butoh-fu notations remain largely in the form of notebooks transcribed by his disciples which were recently published by Ugly Duckling Presse, Costume en Face: A Primer of Darkness for Young Boys and Girls.

One of the pieces in Big Dance Theater's new production Big Dance: Short Form is based on Costume en Face.

The screening is followed by a discussion of the impact of Hijikata's work on artists and choreographers today with Big Dance Theater's Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar, artist Aki Sasamoto, Butoh scholar Bruce Baird, and Ugly Duckling Presse editor Yelena Gluzman.
