dc.description.abstract
I examine the art labour of three Japanese women butoh artists living and
working internationally. They are foreign at home and abroad: when these
artists return to Japan, they are erased from the current arts scene or they
are cast as outsiders in a separate category from ‘Japanese artists’; they are
also compelled to keep their butoh designation in foreign places because it
lends an exotic, economically viable Japanese-ness to their art labour. The
artists complicate any simple outsider/resident status or national/cultural
representation. They also take on an in-transit-ness, in which they are always
on the move and always ‘at work’. I argue that their art-labour-under-duress
amplifies their physical intensity, arising from interrelated pressures such
as economic conditions and relationships with butoh and Japanese art labour
practices. This art labour intensity sustains creativity and initiates a
‘stranger community’ that is a vital part of their radical art labour and
survival.
