Friday 18 July 2014, 7pm, OTO Project Space
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.
