Outcast Samurai Dancer (RARE - Out of Print)

OUTCAST SAMURAI DANCER is a visual documentary of Japan's real dance avant-garde: the contemporary artists who are using their bodies to wage a creative revolution. Through the erratic, erotic, grotesque, uncontrolled and other worldly movements of the experimental stage, these dancers are researching new possibilities for the body, methods for liberating gesture from the rigid  constraints of the most choreographed culture on earth.

With over 50 colour photographs and an illuminating narrative, OUTCAST SAMURAI DANCER uses daring photography, cutting-edge writing, and an original commentary by renowned cultural critic Donald Richie to bring the Japanese underground to the global public.
