To arrive at the most poignant moment
– to arrive at the most pregnant and realized moment. This is
the goal of Butoh. To touch the infinite.

Founded and directed by
Nathan Montgomery, Syzygy Butoh is a vehicle for experimentation. 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." Using the stage
as Sacred Space, the template of the body is continually placed against the canvas of the void. This process is offered as
a gift to humanity in the medium of dance. Working mostly as a solo dancer Nathan’s creations often touch
on the deeply tragic. They are the solitary expressions of a human pathos enlightened by a wry freedom. For
Nathan the creative process always includes time in the wilderness. Nathan teaches and performs throughout the United
States. He works in collaboration with such groups as Human Nature in AZ and the CarpetBag Brigade of San Francisco.
He co-created TinHouse Experimental Dance Theatre in Boulder, CO and continues to base his productions there. In classic
proscenium, on mountain top or in the town junk-yard Syzygy performs in diverse venues and settings. For Nathan, while
the work is originally connected to the seed of Japanese Butoh, Syzygy grows as an American Butoh.
