Koichi Tamano joined Tatsumi Hijikata's studio (Asbestos-kan) in 1965. Hijikata's most fruitful production period, Mr. Tamano had been the lead dancer on stage. He will supervise these workshops.

Hiroko Tamano joined Hijikata's studio in 1972. Her experience on stage and daily life are the seeds of her Butoh. She will lead these workshops.


BUTOH sprouted in Japan after World War II against the westernization deforming their culture.

BUTOH is considered a contemporary performing art but its roots are imbedded with ancient wisdom and philosophy. Because of that, BUTOH has spread all over the world, putting roots down globally.

BUTOH is the first global performing art which human beings are sharing together.

BUTOH founder Tatsumi Hijikata said, "First of all, Dancers are people who are involved in the creation of space that is bigger than any other, called derangement."
