The Performers (updated)

Thierry Alexandre (Butoh / Japanese contemporary dance).
Thierry uses Butoh -an avant-garde abstract dance form from Japan- to express the deepest and most misunderstood emotions in a physical form and creates compelling, deeply emotive and mesmerising performances taking the audience on unexpected journeys. More Information at www.thierryalexandre.com.
