The piece brings together Conan Amok, a dancer emerging from the lineage of the Japanese butoh company Dairakudakan, alongside a group of contemporary dancers who are actively renewing the form. The work is grounded in Amok’s ‘multi layered body’ method, a technique developed through a fusion of butoh and sculptural practice that explores the body as both material and memory. The performance will feature deep bass and wadaiko drums creating a club-like ritual atmosphere.

Conan Amok is the key performer in R/evolution(s), bringing his unique 'multi layered body' method to the stage. Amok's work is a fusion of butoh and sculptural practice, and he is an heir to the lineage of Dairakudakan, one of Japan's leading butoh companies.

The event takes place at Dance Base in Edinburgh. The performance is part of the wider festival programme, which spans multiple venues across the city, offering a diverse range of styles and performers that reflect the breadth of contemporary dance.
