Boulder Butoh Festival
posted: November 3, 2011
Last month, the organizers of the Boulder Butoh Festival (http://boulderbutohfestival.com/) hired me to capture their performances. I was really glad to have the opportunity as I've had a little more than a passing interest in Butoh dance since first being exposed to it at the 2005 Asheville Fringe Festival (http://www.ashevillefringe.org/); so much so that long time friend and choreographer Julie Gillum (http://www.ashevillebutoh.com/) and I have started a documentary focusing on the evolution of Butoh Dance in America.

This was a great opportunity to meet some internationally known artists, shoot interviews and workshops, as well as other public Butoh performances that occurred outside the festival in the Boulder area. Up until this weekend, I had really only seen American artists from Asheville perform this form of dance.

Meeting and observing workshops by some of the master performers who were taught directly by the creators of this art form remains an indescribable honor. It's really exciting to have some footage in the can for what, until this past weekend, had only been a concept. I'm looking forward to seeing where this path takes us. There are several more screen captures like the one above on my image portfolio page.
