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.
