[KineJapan] Book Announcement: Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance

[Bruce Baird]

Dear Colleagues,

This is slightly afield of this list, but we have had over the course of the years a few threads about the cross-fertilization between butoh and cinema, so for your information, I am including this book launch information here.

Rosemary Candelario (Texas Woman's University) and I are proud to announce the publication of The Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance.

https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Companion-to-Butoh-Performance/Baird-Candelario/p/book/9781138691094 <https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Companion-to-Butoh-Performance/Baird-Candelario/p/book/9781138691094>

Intro + 56 chapters = 55 authors, 8 translators, 100 photos, 6 continents, 14 countries, 558 pages!

I hope you will all have your respective libraries order a copy. 

One of the chapters, by Aaron Kerner, treats the nexus between cinema and butoh specifically.

And if I may be so bold, for those who feature a chapter about butoh in their Japanese theater surveys, the first half of our intro is your new go-to chapter.


Cheers,

Bruce
