Free Kazuo Ohno's World: From Without & Within Ebooks To Download
Kazuo Ohno is one of the founders of the Japanese modern dance form, Butoh, which had a large influence on contemporary American modern and postmodern dance. Now for the first time, Ohno’s words and insights are available in English. This book brings together two distinct but related works: the first, Food for the Soul, is an interview with Yoshito Ohno about his father and his father's dances. With the help of some 100 photographs, he reveals a compelling and complex figure. The second, Workshop Words, is a collection of talks given by Kazuo Ohno to his students during workshops, complemented by photographs of Ohno in intimate settings. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed, this book is a finely nuanced portrait of one of the most distinctive contemporary performers to emerge from Japan in the 20th century. It is an indispensable manual for the aspiring performer in any field.

I LOVED this book. I would read a line, a paragraph, a sentence and have to put it down to think about it or savor it or dream it.. It's lovely lovely lovely.. Totally inspiring and marvelous and astounding. A book that will stay on the top shelf of my library (where my most favorite books are) and never ever be loaned out. I would recommend it most highly to anyone who is interested in dance, no matter what type of dance they do. This book breathes dance! it's beautiful.
this book is a complete joy... beautiful and honest... a delicate revelation of the words behind the dance... i recommend to anyone who doubts the possibility of communicating the ineffable interior of themselves.
This book is the first one in English, directly from and about the inspeakable dance Butoh and its founder Kazuo Ohno. It is more than an inspiration to read such a book. I am thankful for this opportunity and I am recommending this to all of you, interested in expressing through your body.
FANTASTIC BOOK -- TRULY WONDERFULThe photos alone are mesmerizing and give you a taste of the amazing artistry of Butoh master Kazuo Ohno. The writings are inspirational and speak volumes to the power of dance and the impact it can have on people's lives. Excellent read overall.
