Mmm, yes often it is slow, however there are no real boundaries from what I’ve seen and those dancers I have worked with.
Atsushi Takenouchi performed in Hove Park near my house a few years ago. We attended. He moved at many different speeds. Following are some films I made after my experience of seeing butoh and attending workshops in London and Brighton and being married at the time to a butoh dancer/teacher - Carolina Diaz. The workshops allowed me to feel my body in a rather immediate and powerful sense, while becoming aware of how I wanted to move my body. Like an unfolding of myself in time and space! In a small way I began to feel myself in the moment so to speak. It felt like a very powerful practice. I think it appeared in Japan around the same time as the Gutai expressionist movement (1950s), which I see as possibly related indirectly.

They are around 300 A4 charcoal drawings in negative, filmed on B&W reversal super8 film, scanned and reversed. The soundtrack I made using piano, guitar and reversed human voice recordings, written to accompany the completed visual material of that film. Thanks Alan for the interest!
