Liz Filippone, RYT, CMT has been studying dance and movement for over 20 years. She is a San Francisco-based Performance Artist inspired by butoh, physical theater, yoga, and holistic bodywork. She began her butoh training in 2002 with Kitsunebutoh and has also trained & worked with Paige Starling Sorvillo/Blindsight, Shinichi Iova-Koga, Hiroko Tamano, Minako Seki, The Black Stone Ensemble, Diego Pinon, and Katsura Kan. Check out her website: www.movingyogi.com.

Bob Webb likes to divide his time more or less equally between dance and theatre, with the odd opera, rave, and/or street performance thrown in for good measure. He makes most of his living as a stage manager and is an Equity actor. But his true love is Butoh (he feels there are many matters in life more important than paying rent). He has danced with many Butoh companies, most notably: Harupin-Ha (with Koichi and Hiroko Tamano, his teachers for over 12 years), Saltimbanques (with Katsura Kan), Black Stone Ensemble, Barely Human Dance Theatre, Raw Egg, Metropolitan Butoh, Peace Dreams, ButohSanFrancisco (also co-producer), and his own company Bare Bones Butoh. He has performed all over the U.S. (including Hawaii), Mexico, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Japan, Malaysia, India, and Thailand. He produces the Bare Bones Butoh Presents Showcases, which happen roughly every three months in San Francisco. These Showcases function as a performance platform for Butoh, Performance Art, and Ritual Performance. Other companies he's worked with include: The Todd Courage Group, Dandelion Dance Theatre, Anna Halprin, Inkboat, Word for Word, Deborah Slater Dance Theatre, Campo Santo, Right Brain Performance Lab, Dance Continuum, the SF International Butoh Festival, Magic Theatre, Lines Ballet, Traveling Jewish Theatre, Huckaby/McAllister Dance, Encore Theatre, Kunst-Stoff, Quixotic Productions, EmSpace Dance, Foghouse Productions, Smuin Ballets/SF, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Eugene Opera, Portland Opera, Oregon Repertory Theatre, Eugene Ballet...oh, the list just goes on and on. When not on or behind a stage, he reads a lot, models for artists, and spends as much time as possible outside with a pack on his back.
