The idea for Shapes Within Life is provoked by the famous debate between Kazuo Ono and Tatsumi Hijikata, the creators of Ankoku Butoh - Dance of Darkness, discussion on the definition of Butoh. Ono said "Life should not be chasing Form but that Form should follow from Life" and Hijikata said "Form should be leading Life".
The performers create movement sequences and collect choreography vocabularies (Shape/Form) from an individual’s interpretation toward Life.

Beyond Butoh (BB0#) series has been directed, curated and facilitated by Tony Yap and Yumi Umiumare since 2001 to provide the local Butoh community an opportunity to investigate, explore and stretch the limits of what we understand as the intrinsic meaning of Butoh. The long-term vision for this series is a grander scale festival encompassing all idiosyncratic interpretation of Butoh in performance from local and international artists.
