Butho

Butho and Madness:"Being sanely mad means getting into emotions and moving them. Mad is he who is possesed by his own emotions. Artist is he who drives them. There is a difference between sane madness and that which seeks."

Butho and the Dance of Darkness: "Darkness is the middle world, there is nothing scary about it. It is a subtle world between reality and fantasy".-Gustavo Collini Sator Tango Butho http://www.danza-butoh.com.ar/indexen.htm

Interactive Improv Theatre News was established in 1992 by editor Jeff Wirth. Its mission is to enhance the quality and recognition of all forms of spontaneous and audience participatory theatre. A calendar of Interactive theater events is offered at this site. http://www.augie.edu/related/itn/main.html#INTRODUCTION

Interactive Theater This site is a resource for those who use theater techniques for other or more than arts or entertainment purposes, and for those whose theater styles incorporate other than traditional presentation styles.

Dance Online: offers in-depth connectivity to dance via the worldwide web by utilizing technology to enhance the communication and experience of dance. Merging dance with technology purposefully and promulgating the dance community are two of Dance Online's primary goals. Other goals include unifying the global dance community, creating an online space for dance and generating innovative dance content.

Henrys Dance Page "If you'd like to learn more about ballroom dancing, or about swing, tango, salsa, country-western or many other forms of dance, visit my Dance Hotlist, which has over 1900 dance links." says Henry Neeman a postdoctoral research associate at the Laboratory for Computational Astrophysics, part of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign (Webmaster note: I initially placed Henry's credintials here as a matter of lunacy, but come to think of it there are connections between dance and physics see, the Summer 93 issue of Contact Quarterly and look at Robert Schwarz's article Space Movement and Meaning, also in that same and the next issue there are articles on Chaos Theory / Strange Attractors and Dance)

The Arts and Healing Network is dedicated to celebrating the connection between arts and healing. This web site which serves as an international resource and exchange for anyone interested in the healing potential of art, especially environmentalists, social activists, artists, health care practitioners, and those challenged by illness.

DV8 Physical Theater These folks do 'take no prisoners' style of dance. In their works ALL (and I mean ALL) the facades and social nicities we hide behind are dropped and the shadow and vunrable sides of human nature are exposed. (after finishing touring their piece Dead Men in Monochrome Colors a great many of the company members had to go into therapy to deal with the energies of the experience.).My favorite piece Strange Fish. Tapes of their works can be seen at the Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center in NY and can also be purchased from Dance Books.

Virtual Dance Festival-Hi my name is steven malkus(stevenmalkus@prodigy.com). I am currently working full time on a project tentatively called "The Virtual Dance Festival"--an interactive website clearinghouse for dancers and dance teachers trying to set up new classes in Modern,Improvisation, World Dance, New Age Dance(hybrids), Ritual Dance and Creative Movement---a clearinghouse for dancers and others to pool resources and get space/publicity for workshops,jams,performances and related events.Ultimately it would involve producing real "festivals" in a number of US locations that are very much geared toward community participation in workshops/classes in dance. I have been on both coasts and am looking for strong collaborators. I have a background in dance(MFA,ASU) and video.I have a budget and time for R&D. Any info,contacts or feedback would be much appreciated.
