Magnetic Fields (excerpt)

Tokyo born and Normandy-based dancer, choreographer Masaki IWANA is the rare artist in the world of butoh. His dance, based on themes of stasis and yogic techniques, was developed independently of the HIJIKATA / OHNO lineage. This excerpt from Iwana's 2010 solo performance MAGNETIC FIELDS in Sarzana, Italy contains the beauty and ferocity of butoh while at the same time taking viewers into Iwana's singular dance world.
