I've been working on a bibliography of books on Butoh - click here (pdf file) for my current list. It is not nearly complete, but finding resources on Butoh can be a challenge. This list provides a springboard for those seeking information. Feel free to send me other book titles and information to add to this list by emailing me.

Dance & Technology Bibliography

Alla Kovgan and I have for the past 5 years been collecting information regarding the history of collaborations between dance and other art forms: including film, sculpture, visual art and sound. Along the way we have found some amazing written documentation. We are working on compiling a bibliography, the beginnings of which can be accessed here.
