The Tadashi Endo in Dancing Education Resource Directory

    

TADASHI ENDO developed his very special dancestyle, which appears like a walk on the tightrope between eastern and western culture and between the arts Theatre, Performance and Dance. He calls it ButohMA. MA in ZenBuddhism means emptyness as well as spaces betweens the things. Tadashi Endo visualizes these spaces in their very fine changes. The moments, when one figure changes to the next or one image changes to the next, with nearly invisible movements and a very strong tension, are more important to him than the representation of the figure or the image. This tension, which he radiates with utmost concentration and perfect posture, transforms his dance to a representation of still movement. His body rests, although he dances. He is not dancing he is danced.
