About Found in Translation: Transcultural Performance Practice in the 21st Century (Butoh)

<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>This practice‑led research PhD proposes the rubric of Cultural Translation as a useful</p><p>language and methodology for engaging with innovative transcultural performance</p><p>grounded in ethical practice. This investigation is situated in my work as a director</p><p>and actor‑trainer, and draws on the decade‑long collaboration between Australian</p><p>contemporary performance company Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre<span>1 </span>and Japanese</p><p>Butoh<span>2 </span>company Dairakudakan (大 駱 駝 艦). My journey into the field of transcultural</p><p>training and performance originated during five years living, studying and performing</p><p>in Japan as an artist in my twenties. The enthusiasm I developed for both traditional and</p><p>contemporary Japanese culture during this period has led to a lifelong engagement</p><p>with Japan, its performing arts and a number of key artists and companies, most notably</p><p>Maro Akaji (麿 赤児) and Dairakudakan. Throughout my career as an actor‑trainer,</p><p>director and researcher I have pursued praxis which has tackled questions of Cultural</p><p>Translation; the ethics of cultural exchange and difference; and their relationship to</p><p>artistic innovation.</p><p>The research has been conducted through an iterative approach comprising three</p><p>creative practice cycles: 1. Butoh Training (Japan and Australia, 2014‑2015); 2. Creative</p><p>Development (Japan and Australia, 2015); and 3. Rehearsals and Performance Season of</p><p>In the Company of Shadows (Australia, 2016). The first two cycles functioned as a space</p><p>for creative experimentation, data collection, evaluation and reflection, leading into</p><p>the final performance presentation. This has been dovetailed with a theoretical inquiry</p><p>which has informed and been informed by the developing artistic work. The resultant</p><p>findings include a Cultural Translation of Maro’s Method of Butoh training and devising.</p><p>The study has drawn on theory surrounding Interculturalism, Cultural Translation and</p><p>Innovation Research in order to articulate principles and a pragmatic model for effective</p><p>transcultural performance praxis.</p><p>This doctoral project comprises two interlinked examinable outcomes; the production,</p><p>In the Company of Shadows (see video), and this written exegesis. Together these</p><p>represent the combined dimensions of critical and creative practice that constitute this</p><p>research project. The creative practice component is weighted at 40% and the exegesis</p><p>is weighted at 60%.</p>
