Himself - Interviewee : I have my own dance, Hijikata has his own dance. Everyone has their own dance. And it is always evolving. Everything changes. Clouds become rain, rivers, oceans and finally water vapor again. Humans are just the same. I resist a formal notion of Butoh, a structured Butoh that is limited to what you see on stage. I'm not interested in what is finished, what has already been perfected. I concentrate on the process of Butoh, working with what is incomplete, unfinished. Trying to bring the earth to life again is my purpose. I want to make dances that are based on natural phenomena. In order to return to the origins of art, the origins of dance, I strive for a sense of fear, of danger.
