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.
