Abstract
4 May 2010: Frauke (Caroline Lundblad), Swedish butoh choreographer and performer, and an exponent of Ankoku Butoh, has arrived to commence rehearsals for her collaboration with First Physical Theatre Company. She will be creating an original butoh work with these particular 8 African bodies. Although some of us have encountered the form theoretically, none have embarked on a butoh performance process. I am to observe rehearsal so that I can document and research the choreographic process. After a few days of watching, a quiet but persistent hunger begins to unsettle me: my body doesn-t want this distance .... my body wants to experience this 'butoh-tai', this butoh space-time.
