Ja, yoroshiku, onegaishimasu....

... and here, le P.S. longue....
When I was living in the performance world in Japan,
sometimes I would hear things like Antonin Artaud
inspired Hijikatta-san... kedo.... I wonder if
Hijikatta ever even heard of Artaud!!!! He was a
freakin' farmer.... (a brilliant, dancing, freakin'
farmer, albeit) ...and I don't think he much cared
anyway, about Artaud, if he did know the name or
Artaud's work! Hijikatta, for as much as I can figure
out, was pretty much pre-occupied with his OWN
genius.... THANKFULLY!
The connection (I mean, the confusion, among those who
might suggest a connection between Artaud and
Hijikatta) can be found in the name of Oikawa-san's
studio! Maison d'Artaud!
Further, I believe if not for Oikawa-san... Butoh may
never have been created, and were it somehow, it would
never have risen to its' level of significance, but
for the genius of Oikawa-san.... who knew precisely
where and how to position Butoh in art history!
I believe Oikawa-san's influence in the establishment
of Butoh as (arguably) the most important art form
coming out of Japan in 200 years, is vastly
un-recognized, particularly in the international dance
community.
More, I wonder if more consideration ought not be
given Oikawa-san's personal dance (Soijeq)... as it
relates to technology!
sincerely,
