Space Between Butoh Dance Festival

Space Between is a laboratory for Butoh dance and other ritualistic dance to meet, research and perform. It including workshops, site specific performance, dialog, and jam.

Can silence and space be the portals and doorways to the discovery of our unique manifestation of this dance of life?

We invite you to join our explorations into the multi-faceted textures of space from within to without. Space provides the well for all things to grow and bloom. It communicates through its own language, forever revealing and unraveling through undefined morphic landscapes.

Participate in a live interactive experiment where we relinquish our body-mind to the infinite possibilities of space. Through our imagination and intention we will delve into the unknown realms of space and its unfurling metamorphisis.

From the vastness of space we emerge,
like rivers destined for the sea—
all-encompassing, boundless, free.
Through space we shall dissolve once more,
a fleeting breath, an eternal door.
For this, we dance.
For this, we celebrate.
