Butoh Artist Directory

international initiative

A living directory for all Butoh artists

A crowd-sourced directory — a living butoh archive, list, and tree — of over 1000 artists ranging from performers and educators to academics, searchable by name, country, and company.

Anyone whose primary creative or performative practice is rooted in the tradition, philosophy, or development of butoh—whether through professional or artistic focus—and who identifies or has identified as a butoh artist.
