Cafe OTO presents three evenings of improvised music and visual performance/movement: three duos of one instrumentalist and one physical performer. All 6 performers are affected and inspired by Butoh, the post-war Japanese dance form. The musicians are regular performers at OTO, and all have had enriching experiences developing their music through working with dancers. The dancers come from a range of backgrounds and are all creating exciting original work in London and Europe in various fields including, sculpture, dance, film, and theatre.
Dominic Lash concentrates on the double bass and electric guitar. He works regularly with musicians including John Butcher, Angharad Davies, Emil Karlsen, Mark Sanders, Pat Thomas, and Alex Ward. He has lived and worked in Oxford, New York and Bristol, and is currently based in Cambridge where he and N.O. Moore curate the monthly improvised music series Soundhunt. He also runs the label Spoonhunt.
