the last time lopez played at impermanent (august 2001) he left the audience stunned and the performance is still considered by many to be the best impermanent to date. this is not to be missed.

ZEN ZEN ZO is once again offering BUTOH Workshops on Monday nights (7.30-9.30pm) at the Avalon Theatre in St Lucia, Brisbane, from July until November. Participants can join at any time, space permitting. "The passion of the Butoh dancer is an inner one. What you see on the outside is always infinitely subtle. you see a trace of the emotion, never the emotion itself. In the west we have a tendency to throw ourselves against walls as a way to indicate passion. The Japanese just show traces, not unlike their prints, their art of leaving traces on paper. They disclose only just enough to allow you to imagine an inner poetic landscape. This is much more interesting" email info@zenzenzo.com for more information
