Last class we discussed the The Viennese Aktionists and extreme performance art. The films were sexual, political, violent, and pretty gross. They followed the concept based on the natural aspects of human species- reproduction,sex,eating, and even explored all the wonderful way of ridding wastes out of the body.

Ko Murobushi is one of the greatest Butoh-dancers. Along with Ushio Ama- gatsu and Akaji Maro, he founded the longest running Butoh dance company called Dairakudan. In 1974 he created the Butoh-magazine “Hageshii Kisetsu” and founded Ariadone (female Butoh Company) and Sebi (a male Butoh Company). Although his performances shocked the Japanese public they have been highly acknowledged in other locations.
