Wreck Beach Butoh has been performed annually by Kokoro Dance for the past twenty-seven years. It is one of our favourite performances but also a test of the stamina and spirit of our performers. This intensive butoh workshop is open to anyone willing to work physically hard and endure difficult performing conditions. If you would like to participate, please download the 2022 Wreck Beach Butoh registration form below.
