In modern Latin dances such as salsa and tango, lifting techniques are important and give strong impressions to the performance. Also in butoh dance, we have a long history and traditions of lifting a partner.
Butoh GooSayTen, Itto Morita and Mika Takeuchi, has utilized butoh lifts for years. Please read and understand the meaning and significance of lifting in butoh as Hijikata's heritage.
