This talk presents findings from my long-term research on butoh, a dance form that emerged in Japan in the post-war period and later evolved in an eclectic trans-local art form. Framing butoh as an anthropological object of study, the first part of the paper details some of its sensory phenomenological and praxiographic specificities as a creative movement practice. I go on to describe butoh as a style of knowing with and through the body which can contribute to reshaping one’s experience of the bodymind. The last part of the talk adopts butoh as a heuristic tool for a performative anthropology interested in the anthropology of interiority.
