Göttingen Tageblatt News Paper "Of the Beauty of Form"

--- A surprise was that we had never seen such rapid movement in the past in connection with Butoh.

The beauty of form that the dance itself arouses and the heart-throbbing movement of thought and sensitivity satisfied the audience fully.---

• 1996 Japan Asahi Evening News "Butoh-bound dancer"

---You can be forgiven for thinking dance is about movement. If you do, however, prepare to be educated. Dancer Juju Alishina will be presenting a series of solo butoh performances in Tokyo that involve restricting her ability to move.

For example, by restricting her movements - by binding her arms or blindfolding herself - or by restricting the angle of vision of the audience, Alishina aims to enhance the functions and freedom of movement of other parts of the body.

Her so-called "strait" dances are on expression that aims to transform what is often thought of as restricting into something liberating, she says.---

RENAISSANCE - In this symbolic image, the Japanese artist Juju Alishina, of NUBA company, gives a performance of Butoh dance, a sort of magical and mysterious ritual which represents liberation from existential chains in favor of a purifying renewal.

Here is the revenge of the senses, the rediscovery of pleasure: an answer to the philosophy of renunciation and exasperated salutisme.

To the request for spare time, the real luxury of today, technology answers with inventions which will release us from certain daily obligations.

Sexual identities are changing quickly: male chauvinism, just like feminism, are just leftovers of the past fated to disappear.

And now, scientific and religious investigation compels our body to exceed biological limits.

• 1998 France OUEST FRANCE"A class of Japanese dance in Deauville

Juju Alishina's Art"

---To open a Japanese dance class might seem very original. For Juju Alishina, it is just the reflection of her life in Japan, that she has just left to settle in France,

..."this other, faraway culture, with an artistic desire to research Japanese art itself." To this end, she will propose Butoh classes.---Juju Alishina blends with it however "traditional musical souces, in order to incorporate more serene values ".

The courses in traditional dance will be based on Kabuki theater... (which) relies upon movement and sensitivity.---

• 1998 France LE PAYS'D'AUGE"Un danseuse japonaise fait découvrir son art à Deauville."

It is going to be profitable to enrich our culture. Japanese dance is different from ours(western), it is more static and requires concentration and flexibility. There is work on a centrifugal force.---
