Butoh Dance Training Reviews

Juju Alishina is an important and bold cultural innovator and searing performer. This writing captures the grace and power of Juju's teaching through clear exercises that offer students and teachers alike entree into a form of Butoh infused with traditional Japanese movement practices. Rich with imagery, these lessons are layered with the wisdom, experience, and deep research of a master. -- Andrew Belser, Professor, MFA program, and Director, Arts & Design Research Incubator, Penn State University
