Masaki Iwana

Masaki lwana began his dance career in 1975 outside the “butoh genealogy.” Until 1982 he presented 150 experimental performances in which he stood straight, completely naked and perfectly still. Since then, lwana has presented his performances and workshops in 38 countries and has created works which are built on his sharpened aesthetic. Iwana runs an institute for the research of butoh, La Maison du Butoh Blanc, in Normandy, France since 1995. www.iwanabutoh.com
