1 cool dude

I had this saved on the desktop of my dad's computer and if he found it returning from fishing, I'd be gone and his stomach turns at discomfortable truths. At first I want to realize something sure in it, but whatever that is eludes me and actually, secondly, it's thrilling being splattered by all these contradictory reactions. I have here in this basket a nausea, a respect, a small fear and something like a parody of holy silence. Kazuo Ohno developed the Butou genre of performance art/dance (thx j, this is cool) in conjunction with the choreographer Tatsumi Hijikata. One more among a myriad of things I like, that Butou is short for Ankoku Butou- 'the dance of utter darkness.' Ohno's site:



He turned one-hundred-one in October. This poster I guess advertises celebratory events held in 2006 at the dance school he established.

finally: "Some students regard him as a guru and an inspirational figure to many. He is thought of by many of his students and fans as an artist capable of making one weep with just the shift of an arm or focus, his very presence being an 'artistic fact'." Someone said that but I've taken this too seriously already
