Outcast Samurai Dancer : Japanese Avant-Garde Dance

Editorial Reviews Book Description

Outcast Samurai Dancer is a visual documentary of Japan's real dance avant-garde: the contemporary artists who are using their bodies to wage a creative revolution. Through the otherworldly movements of the experimental stage, these dancers are -researching new possibilities for the body, methods for liberating gesture from the rigid constraints of the most choreographed culture on earth.

With over fifty color photographs and an illuminating narrative, the book evokes a fever hallucination of movement, suturing the wound between past and future, East and West, art and necessity.

Shot and written during the summer of 2002, Outcast Samurai Dancer uses daring photography, cutting-edge writing, and an original commentary by renowned cultural critic Donald Richie to bring the Japanese underground to the global public. About the Author
