back patting and publishing

[Tanya Calamoneri]

Thanks Bruce! 

I  enjoyed, was challenged, and learned a great deal from our process, and really liked our group!  Which is a good thing to hang on to!

I'd love to get us started on this article idea for TDR...How about while it's still fresh in everyone's minds, let's write up a 2-3 sentence bit about our contribution to the overall article (and for those who weren't at our cocktail hour, Megan suggested we combine efforts and each write a 2-3 pg bit for a collective article).

I know everyone is in end of semester craziness but 2-3 sentences shouldn't be too hard.  How about we say December 3rd deadline, email them to the listserv?  I can collect and coordinate with Megan about the best format for the whole submission.

Megan can you clarify if you meant 2-3 pages of TDR pages, or 2-3 pages of double spaced typed Word docs?  And are photos ok/a good idea?  I always like reading articles with photos but not sure from the publishing side if they prefer or not.

And for our next trick, let's apply for that CORD/Ethnomusicology conference - lots to write about with buto and sound....!  Kenn told me that there's a working group in ASTR that has been going for 25 years.  May this be the first of many collaborations!

Cheers,
Tanya

Team,

First it was great to meet you and put names with faces.   I trust we will have many changes to continue these conversations here and in other venues over time.

One more moment of praise from me, and one confession of an omission.

First the omission.  I intended to take a moment at the beginning of my talk and specifically recognize my co-conveners (and even had a slide in my power point that singled you out, but when I had to ditch the powerpoint, that also that slipped my mind as well).  So I would like to offer a huge thanks to Tanya, Rosemary, Megan, and Michael.  They were the ones that initially suggested taking our proposal to CORD/ASTR, and you must have noticed that often major communication came directly from them.  This was in part because I got the reviews back for my manuscript and got tied up in making some further revisions to my book, and I am in part speaks directly to their willingness to take the initiative in matters which affect their own lives.  We couldn't have had this much success without them, and it was remiss of me to fail to acknowledge them publicly.

Now onto the next round of praise.  I thought that the session yesterday went well.  I particularly liked hearing about how the CORD/ASTR paper fit into your larger work.  That really gave me a better perspective in which to put your papers.  I was glad that we could Skype everyone in and let you all participate and despite the fact that we never got around to all of our questions, I think the discussion was productive.   It was for me at least.  One thing that Rosemary, I think, suggested was that we talk about how the group impacted our own work, and since I took the role of stage setter, I didn't do this, but I would like to say that my original idea that dance studies meet area studies has been very productive for me.  The kinds of comments you all gave me on my two papers have pushed me to clarify things that I think that I originally probably blew by quite quickly or took for granted, and sometimes even stray remarks (things you take for granted) opened up entire worlds for me.    Also, in particular I would like to thank our auditor Katherine for asking some pretty probing questions of us all, questions that I think really pushed us in fruitful directions.

Lets keep talking,

Bruce

Can you say more about the joint article? I think I missed that conversation. How would that work? What is the focus of the article?

Ditto on all the kudos - and also how great that we had a good-sized, engaged audience!

-R.

[Tanya Calamoneri]

I think the article would just be an extension of our working group, so we could use the description that we used for CORD as an intro - buto, corporeal power, diaspora etc - and my understanding of what Megan said would work was just a collection of short essays from the research we presented at the conference, perhaps crystallized by our process of feedback and discussion.  Megan, please correct me if I'm wrong!

Hi everyone

It was really great meeting all of you, and our group discussion was so fruitful. I really did learn so much from everyone's contributions.
Yes, I would like to know more about this joint article proposal - I definitely want to contribute, and I suppose the angle I would come from is how buto is taught/employed in Brisbane via Zen Zen Zo.

 

It's summer holidays in Brisbane and I'll be in Vancouver and flying back on the 30th. That'll give me enough time to write up a 2-3 sentence thingy.

 

Cheers

Hi Buto-ites,

I so enjoyed our work session at the conference, meeting all of you, I think it went super well! Thanks Bruce and to everyone! It was also fun to engage our experienced audience, I feel we were well-supported and lucky to have them.

On the article front, why don't I first just feel this out with TDR and see what they might like us to send. In my own mind, a nice mini-section in the journal would be called New Directions in Buto Scholarship, with an intro to the section, then short papers by us (?? 10 pgs), and then a conclusion, would be nice. Oh, and pictures. That said, I am not sure if this will fly with the new guest editor format TDR has just embarked upon, so before we submit something and work a ton on it, let me send them an email and feed back to you all. But I think we should do something!

Happy Tday and travels to all, until we meet again.....maybe CORD and Ethnomusicology? I'm game! On this one we MUST do some practice though....!

Hi, thanks all for the chance to observe your working group. I have a few questions that were beyond the central focus of your group so I did not ask then, but would love to get any ideas on this extension of butoh topographies: I am looking at "choreography" whether it is improvizational or set or "other" as a tool to study the transit of dance forms. Most of you mentioned Hijikata's Butoh-fu and the ideas that some lines of butoh use choreography (not sure how you are using that term) and/or improvization and/or "scored" material. If any of you have some ideas or have analyzed the over all composition of a work or most used structures, or even phrasing, I would love to hear what you find. I find a way to press on butoh research is to look at the works themselves, even outside their creators  to see what is going on with bodies in space, time, and dynamics. So if we concretely put one Eikoh and Koma work next to a Dairakudakan next to Shosotan, a Kasai or Kan or Nakajima work or Ikeda Carlotta, what might we see/say about "butoh"? especially beyond their creator's philosophies or training. You all may be onto to your collective work, but I would love to hear from anyone. Also is anyone doing the 8 years of Butoh fests in SF? The whole archive is at the SF Museum of Performance. Akira in those old tapes is pretty amazing but it also reveals that his structures are often repeated and are part of the signature "flurry" of movement.  just got off the plane back to work in Berlin. love k

Dear Katherine -

Thanks again for your probing questions and push to reveal the researcher in our work.  It was great to have your input in the panel!

I am attaching a paper I presented at the Texas Asia Conference at U Austin in 2009 (on a panel with Megan!).  It is being submitted for publication at the moment...if you have any feedback before I send it off I would much appreciate it! 

In it I look at Saburo Teshigawara's Dah Dah Dah Sko Dah Dah in an effort to understand the "Post-Butoh" label - there is thick description of the piece and comparison with some of Hijikata's work.  I think it might be interesting to Alissa as well (and Megan but she heard it already) since I'm delving in to the connection between post-modern dance and buto. 

I'm curious to hear what you're doing in Berlin as well!  I spent many years going back and forth to study with Minako Seki (on her website you'll see thick descriptions of her exercises that I wrote up as part of my MA thesis). That's also where I met Yuko, when inkBoat toured to Germany and then she came back with us to San Francisco.  I love Berlin!!  Nanako Nakajima is also at Freie University writing about buto, no?  I know she's in Berlin somewhere...she was writing about buto and aging.

Best to all, and more soon,
Tanya

[Megan V Nicely]

OK, I have to say TDR was not as interested as I had thought. The word was "it had better be really new!" in terms of comments on butoh, and they suggested our editing things down and creating a roundtable format.

Given this response, I am not sure this is the right venue for us....what do others think? Are there other places we might consider, that journal Tanya you mentioned? I really think a journal would be interested as there is not much outside of dissertations being published on butoh.

Best, Megan

[Tanya Calamoneri]

The journal I mentioned is Theater, Dance and Performance Training, so maybe not appropriate since we aren't all dealing with training/pedagogy.

I think Dance Research Journal (DRJ) would be appropriate, especially since that's CORD's journal so we have some connection, sort of.  The other thought I had is a new journal called Choreographic Practices, which might be good especially since it's new and probably looking for content. 

I'm happy to approach either but I need some coaching...I'm pretty new to publishing...Megan? Bruce?  Would it be a good place to start to contact DRJ and tell them we just completed a successful working group as part of the recent conference, give them a brief synopsis of what we covered, and ask if they would be interested in a 10 page article?? 

Best,
Tanya

[Katherine Mezur]

hey, How about Mark Franko's Dance Research Journal. I can write him. I think the collective work would work if it were very focused on a particular idea or performance or person. k

DRJ might be good, but I really wonder if a co-written article is the way to go. It seems to me that it might be better to approach it as a special issue, with 1 or 2 editors, and 5-7 articles. 

I know people are excited to capitalize on our working group success and move forward quickly, but I think it would serve all our professional (i.e.publishing) needs better if we spend some time figuring out which journals would be best, finding out about special issues, and then reconvene as a group (perhaps a conference call) to share what we've learned and prioritize who we'd like to approach.

[Megan V Nicely]

I also don't think we should rush too much, but I don't want to lose momentum either.

I was not thinking of a 10-page article total but more like an 8-10 page mini-article from each of us....so actually a substantial section of a journal who was interested, with only the intro/conclusion co-authored. I also thought of Choreographic Practices. DRJ I actually don't know as much about format-wise but seems a good connection for us? might they do such a section?

Maybe we could "pitch" it to DRJ once we get our plan more settled amongst ourselves and see what they say? If interested, I am sure we would have time to then work toward it.

What do others think?

I guess the first question is who is actually interested.

Bye for hte moment,

Megan

[Tanya Calamoneri]

DRJ usually has about 5 articles of about 10-15 pages each.  Maybe if we each had about 5 pages?  Kind of like the Kurihara TDR that had several short articles?  I think a co-written article would be too difficult at this point.  Maybe after our 5th working group together haha.

I also know Mark Franko because I tried to help him get a PhD program at Columbia started...maybe he would at least have advice for us?  I really think DRJ would be a good place to start since it's the CORD journal.

I'm interested (clearly :))  and I think Natalie said she was as well, and Megan and Rosemary...and Katherine?  Who else?

I know Mark too, he helped me put together one of the book lists for my second exam.
As far as publishing, I mentioned to a couple of you that I am a bit wary of publishing anything about Tanaka in a journal or section of a journal devoted specifically to buto. However, I do have something else I am working on that focuses on Hijikata's early collaborative work and addresses some of the issues we've been discussing. I think five pages would be just right for it, so if that would be acceptable, count me in.

It was great meeting all of you and would be happy to do the working group thing with you again. Hopefully Alissa and Michael can make it this time.

post holidays is better (even though I am so relieved not to do thanks giv.) Can you all re-think or imagine what your work is about if it were not under the "butoh" label: like instead of new local butoh,  you might consider (i am just making this up!) "migrating gestures:  eikoh/koma and the khymer/cambodian  etc. or dig deep into the comments and threads of your online conversations:  these seemed beyond butoh and very provocative. Bruce's new geneologies could be a remapping of an "ecology" of postwar (not-modern) performance/dance art. I keep thinking of the dirty laundry and the passage of "intellectual properties"...should we propose disjunctive meetings: Buddhist caberet, Walking on walls and rooftops: naked, white, and slipping; Grotowski's J-pop alliances; Tanaka Min's Bone Poetry, anyway I mentioned once to Mark that his reading of Ohno's La argentina through the painting that inspired Ohno and his play with Bergson and memory, made me think about a kind of "darker" politics of nationalisms within these dances between visual and corporeal manipulations. I was writing at that moment on Yamazaki and his work on Fagalla with Jant-bi from Senegal. He so wanted to take butoh out of its sentimental coolness.  best k

Yeow, you're right.  It is a kind of sentimental coolness, isn't it?  I've been struggling myself with this issue lately as I try and coalesce my ideas into a doable dissertation topic that doesn't reek of the past and self-perpetuating definitions.

I think there is a way to accomplish this while still maintaining the clear idea that it all comes from what we would usually label under a butoh rubric.  I'm going to ponder it for a couple days........

[Tanya Calamoneri]

mm-hmm - my re-framing would be about the psychophysical performer, which Schechner and Zarilli and others write about, and how Hijikata's work specifically and buto in general contribute to this conversation that has been going on since Stanislavski's late work and into Grotowski...I like Grotowski's j-pop alliances!  I could also write about Ko Murobushi in relation to this topic if others are covering Hijikata.

the whole point of my dissertation and why i think it's useful to study HIjikata's working methods is for this idea of training performer presence.  in that sense I might be with Zack in wondering if buto is a form or whether it was just a few amazing, charismatic artists who can never really be replicated except on one's own terms.  It makes sense to me that Yoshito and Kasai say that Pina Bausch and Nijinsky were buto, if buto is not a form but a fire.

I've also been thinking about buto and punk as parallels...in terms of how they have affected future generations, and these questions of lineage/investment in learning about roots vs the tweeniebopper wearing a Ramones t-shirt...all of it is part of the diaspora in some sense, no?

Thanks for all the ongoing ideas. Currently my mind's in limbo post-conference (plus in Holiday mode). I wonder if it would be too late for me to post my ideas/thoughts when I return to Brisbane (30Nov - 2 Dec)?  I think my mind will be a bit clearer then.

Tanya, I think all those ideas are totally wonderful, but I also wanted to ground the presence and training studies in performances (taking into consideration the place, time, setting, costumes, themes, contents etc. ) and reading the physical theory within the performance stuff and then let me see what is happening between or in the interval of these different bodies. I need to see how ideas are driving the performance from choreography to sweat. if you went to Judith Hamera's talk on Sunday am, that was a wonderful example of theory within the choreography, of course she could have gone further viscerally but only so much time. k

Katherine,

I think this is right on, i will do some thinking on this also. I have been using some Bergson to look at choreography, perhaps to drop the butoh piece and see what else.....disjunctive meetings, will sit with this.

More soon as thoughts develop!

Megan

[Zack Fuller]

 Just to put my two cents in,when reading your papers and the discussions around the readings, the most interesting parts for me were when I got a real glimpse into the process of the individual dancer/choreographers you are writing about. I'm particularly interested in choreographic process, and I'd love something about the process of creating "Butoh America" (Alissa), or detailed descriptions of working with some of the folks Tanya has worked with. I'd love to hear about the "theory within the choreography" of specific performances by Eiko and Koma as well. 

Best,

Zack

[Katherine Mezur]

 this is getting very solid and seductive: looking through different frames of choreography at specific artist's works (or training) would bring a totally different light to butoh studies as they stand. This would also avoid the quasi-smushy-sodeep kind of approach in a lot of butoh writing. (NOT any of yours) k

Also curious (as if you couldn't already tell from my writing) about everyone's positionality and subjectivity as artists and thinkers themselves.  We are constantly referencing the statements, rhetoric, opinions, ideas, etc. of many dancers, so it only makes sense to me that we remember to make clear how our premises and perceptions are framed in relation to our own respective practices.  Even Bruce, for example, though he may not be a performer, obviously knows a lot more about the "farming body" than I do as a city boy who grew up in East LA.

Yes yes yes, all interesting - I would really like to write more about Ko and his silver bodies in relation to contemporary life and also about the first performance I saw by him in the heatwave of 2000 and the way his sweat seemed to drip in time with the music.  Sadly I missed Judith Hamera but I have heard she is fabulous so I will read up on her. 

I'm trying to find the right way to put myself in the writing - I know that's a big push in dance scholarship and I really struggle with how to not make it too confessional.  Diedre Sklar comes to mind as an example of what I don't want to write.  Anybody have any good models they suggest?  But yes, I agree this is important, and I know my own childhood growing up in the country plus a number of other identity markers/lenses inform my view of buto. 

tanya

[Katherine Mezur]

I do not have the book here, but Judith Hamera's book, "communities of dance" or something like that, has a chapter on Waguri and his butoh work/community in LA. I enjoy her writing and her intro is personal without confession. For performance analysis, my current favorite is Helen Gilbert and Jacqueline Lo's Performance and Cosmopolitics (mostly on Asian/Australian works), and the chapter on"Asian Australian Hybrid Praxis" is very cool. These are not "positioning"books as both are well known but even Helen got called on her position here at the Center's seminar, in one of her new research areas. Finding the correct voice in and outside the works and the cultures is always critical, and you know, a footnote on that dilemma works wonders too.  best k

PS on gender and race and butoh: these are very important issues and any group of essays should address these in different ways.

I was considering investigating how Zen Zen Zo used buto in their construction of Caliban in The Tempest, but I'm not too sure how that would fit in with a dance research journal.
What are your thoughts on this?
