New York Butoh Festival

LEIMAY presented and produced 4 editions of the NY Butoh Festival. Over 100 artists from Japan, Sweden, Germany, France, Colombia and the U.S were presented; 8,000 people attended various sold-out events. The first festival in New York was dedicated solely to the emerging international form called Butoh, which originated in post-World War II Japan and has grown into a worldwide movement. This festival celebrated the international evolution of this form and supported both emerging artists and established masters. The New York Butoh Festival hosted international and national artists in a series of performances and workshops at various venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
