SUMMARY:AKIRA KASAI: INTENSIVE SESSION
DESCRIPTION:Akira Kasai (Tokyo, Japan) is now sixty-eight years old, t
 hough much younger than the late Kazuo Ohno and the late Tatsumi Hijik
 ata, two legends of Butoh. Along with them, Kasai was also a pioneer o
 f the artform during the 1960s and 1970s. He was even dubbed the \"Nij
 insky of Butoh.\" After studying modern dance, pantomime, and classica
 l ballet, Kasai met Ohno and performed with him in \"Gigi\" in 1963. H
 E also joined the performance of Hijikata's \"Bara-iro dansu\" (Rose-c
 olored Dance) in 1965. Although he may be called a Butoh dancer, Kasai
  has a style of dance that is clearly different from what is usually a
 ssociated with Butoh--slow, horizontal movements at low positions, der
 iving from the life and spirituality of traditional Japanese farmers. 
 Instead, Kasai concentrates on fierce horizontal and vertical movement
 s, using the expanse of the stage, but with some humorous or clown-lik
 e elements. In 1971, Kasai established Tenshi-kan (House of Angels) in
  Tokyo's western suburb of Kokubunji, as a dance teaching institute. H
 is interest in Rudolf Steiner's antroposophy and eurythmy (the bodily 
 movement art, which is based on the theory that proposes the existence
  archetypal movements corresponding to every aspect of speech, music, 
 and emotion) led him to study in Stuttgart, Germany, from 1979 until 
 1985. He resumed giving public butoh performances in 1994 after some 1
 5 years’ lapse. Since his return to Japan he has cultivated his own 
 highly idiosyncratic style of dance; in “Pollen Revolution,” with 
 which he toured in the United States in the fall of 2004, he first app
 eared as a woman dressed in a traditional kabuki costume, who eventual
 ly morphed into a hip-hop dancer. He once said that the human body is 
 filled with material containing both the universe’s beginning and en
 d and that when he dances, that material dances. He leads the Tenshi-K
 an Dance Institute in Tokyo and has published two books of essays on d
 ance perception and new dance techniques.\n\nFor more information visi
