The American Butoh Project: A collaboration between Mizu Desierto and Syzygy Butoh (Visit Site Here)
It is my mission
to use dance to explore and create with all of our human qualities. The intention is to use everything, both within
and without to express without filtration or bias the “Such as it is of the Whole All.” In my dance
I attempt to ask questions from one body to another. Often these are questions that confront the witness with
questions about themselves. I am not interested in answers that lead to conclusions. I am interested in questions
that lead to movement, change and growth. Syzygy Butoh is a dance in which the body is encouraged to speak for itself.
In the same way that a flower cannot help but express its flower-ness, our bodies are blooming with an innate, powerful and
authentic nature. Like light projected through film, it is this nature that gives rise to the forms I create.
Like all structures in nature the body has an innate desire to be beautiful, to fulfill it's destiny with artistry and grace.
Ultimately what makes my art is the focus I put on this universal humanity we share. By offering what is personal so
that it may be transfigured into that which is universal my mission is to share the sacred through art. -Nathan
