ATSHUSHI TAKENOUCHI  
 
Biography  
 
Atsushi Takenouchi joined Butoh dance company 
"Hoppo-Butoh-ha" in Hokkaido in 1980. His last performance 
with the company "Takazashiki" (1984) was worked on by 
Butoh-founderTatsumi Hijikata.  
He has been working on his own Jinen Butoh since 1986 and 
created solos "Tanagokoro", "Ginkan",  
"ltteki" as a universal expression of  
nature, earth and ancient times and his impression of the 
moment,  
formulated from the people around  
him, and the environment.  
Atsushi  
has danced at sights such as the  
Killing Fields in Cambodia, Kobe earthquake, 
Auschwitz-Birkenau,  
sacred temples around the world,  
thousands of year old trees, and  
desolate environments in Asia, Brazil , Eastern Europe. 
Atsushi has  
been touring Japan, Asia and Europe extensively in the last 
decades.  
Since 2002 he has taught  
wilderness  
dance workshops in the US , and collaborated with dancers 
and actors  
in Europe and the United  
States.  
He currently lives in Paris.  
 
Dancing Life  
 
"Dance is devotion of life." I learned this while my 
traveling nature  
fields called JINEN. This  
means I should dance to "my life," to the  
moment,  
and to now which lasts forever. I feel we have forgotten 
memories of  
days when we lived connected  
with nature's gift (such as water,  
wind,  
grass, trees, and  
animals). A long time ago we danced, forgetting day and 
night. We  
forgot ourselves, and became  
just as one life with the earth? What  
about  
now? We've been choreographed to fit into given pattern.  
 
Improvisation  
 
"It's a dance without choreography. You dance as you feel, 
sharpening  
your senses, with conviction.  
You can't improvise unless you can  
enjoy  
what you are doing and act alive. Sometimes we may look 
like two  
dragons, or two jellyfish talking  
with each other, the moon and the  
sun, or  
two dancing cranes in love. We all have the blood of a 
native and  
spiritual dancer."

Re: Brazilian Percussion Classes with Master Percussionist  
 
Dende 
 
Hi Everybody! 
 
We have finally been able to start classes again - after 
having left our 
studio in Manhattan. We are now holding classes in our 
Brooklyn studio 
starting this coming Tuesday, July 17th from 7-8:30pm. We 
plan to continue 
having classes regularly on Tuesday nights. If that's a 
conflict for you 
let us know. 
 
Directions are as follows: 
 
F Train to Fort Hamilton Parkway. Exit at the back of the 
train and leave 
via the Reeve Place exit. Walking two blocks in the same 
direction up 
Prospect Avenue until you have walked under the bridge. 
Directly after the 
bridge there is a stairwell. Walk up the stairs on the 
right side and it 
will put you on Seeley Street. Continue in the same 
direction on Seeley 
towards Prospect Park. Your first left will be Temple 
Court. We are at 6 
Temple Court. Go down the stairs and you're at the studio! 
 
Otherwise, we'll see you on Tuesday! Let me know if you 
have any questions.

Dear VLA Friends and Members,  
 
Due to a hot summer and as a thank you to the arts 
community, VLA is  
holding two FREE Legal Clinics during the month of July. 
These two  
FREE VLA Legal Clinics will take place in VLA's offices on 
Wednesday,  
July 11th and Wednesday, July 25th, from 4pm to 7pm.  
 
The Clinic is a forum that provides artists and arts 
organizations  
with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a volunteer 
attorney for  
30 minutes. During that private appointment, attorneys 
respond to  
inquiries about any arts-related legal matters. Each Clinic 
runs for  
approximately three hours, with the first half-hour 
appointment at  
4:00 pm , and the last appointments at 6:30 pm . It is open 
to all  
individuals and art organizations that have a legitimate 
legal issue.  
 
In the past, artists and arts organizations have presented 
issues in  
the following areas: copyright, trademark, contract, 
employment  
issues, non- payments, collaborations, etc. For example, an 
artist who  
has been offered a contract may seek assistance in 
understanding its  
basic terms. An artist may ascertain whether her 
intellectual property  
rights are being infringed. Exploring alternatives for 
starting for-  
profit and not-for-profit business entities is also a 
common matter.  
 
To sign-up for one free 30-minute appointment, the artist 
or arts  
organization representative must first call our Art Law 
Line at  
212.319.2787 x1, and speak with one of our interns 
regarding their  
question. Our interns will then consult with a staff 
attorney to make  
sure your concern is appropriate for the Clinic. Upon staff 
attorney  
approval, the caller will then be given one free 30-minute 
appointment  
to one of the two free legal clinics. These two free 
clinics will be  
filled on a first-come first-serve basis to those approved 
by VLA for  
an appointment.  
 
Free Legal Clinic In July  
When:  
Wed, July 11, and Wed, July 25: 4-7pm

ATSHUSHI TAKENOUCHI  
 
Biography  
 
Atsushi Takenouchi joined Butoh dance company 
"Hoppo-Butoh-ha" in Hokkaido in 1980. His last performance 
with the company "Takazashiki" (1984) was worked on by 
Butoh-founderTatsumi Hijikata.  
He has been working on his own Jinen Butoh since 1986 and 
created solos "Tanagokoro", "Ginkan",  
"ltteki" as a universal expression of  
nature, earth and ancient times and his impression of the 
moment,  
formulated from the people around  
him, and the environment.  
Atsushi  
has danced at sights such as the  
Killing Fields in Cambodia, Kobe earthquake, 
Auschwitz-Birkenau,  
sacred temples around the world,  
thousands of year old trees, and  
desolate environments in Asia, Brazil , Eastern Europe. 
Atsushi has  
been touring Japan, Asia and Europe extensively in the last 
decades.  
Since 2002 he has taught  
wilderness  
dance workshops in the US , and collaborated with dancers 
and actors  
in Europe and the United  
States.  
He currently lives in Paris.  
 
Dancing Life  
 
"Dance is devotion of life." I learned this while my 
traveling nature  
fields called JINEN. This  
means I should dance to "my life," to the  
moment,  
and to now which lasts forever. I feel we have forgotten 
memories of  
days when we lived connected  
with nature's gift (such as water,  
wind,  
grass, trees, and  
animals). A long time ago we danced, forgetting day and 
night. We  
forgot ourselves, and became  
just as one life with the earth? What  
about  
now? We've been choreographed to fit into given pattern.  
 
Improvisation  
 
"It's a dance without choreography. You dance as you feel, 
sharpening  
your senses, with conviction.  
You can't improvise unless you can  
enjoy  
what you are doing and act alive. Sometimes we may look 
like two  
dragons, or two jellyfish talking  
with each other, the moon and the  
sun, or  
two dancing cranes in love. We all have the blood of a 
native and  
spiritual dancer."

Re: Brazilian Percussion Classes with Master Percussionist  
 
Dende 
 
Hi Everybody! 
 
We have finally been able to start classes again - after 
having left our 
studio in Manhattan. We are now holding classes in our 
Brooklyn studio 
starting this coming Tuesday, July 17th from 7-8:30pm. We 
plan to continue 
having classes regularly on Tuesday nights. If that's a 
conflict for you 
let us know. 
 
Directions are as follows: 
 
F Train to Fort Hamilton Parkway. Exit at the back of the 
train and leave 
via the Reeve Place exit. Walking two blocks in the same 
direction up 
Prospect Avenue until you have walked under the bridge. 
Directly after the 
bridge there is a stairwell. Walk up the stairs on the 
right side and it 
will put you on Seeley Street. Continue in the same 
direction on Seeley 
towards Prospect Park. Your first left will be Temple 
Court. We are at 6

Dear VLA Friends and Members,  
 
Due to a hot summer and as a thank you to the arts 
community, VLA is  
holding two FREE Legal Clinics during the month of July. 
These two  
FREE VLA Legal Clinics will take place in VLA's offices on 
Wednesday,  
July 11th and Wednesday, July 25th, from 4pm to 7pm.  
 
The Clinic is a forum that provides artists and arts 
organizations  
with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a volunteer 
attorney for  
30 minutes. During that private appointment, attorneys 
respond to  
inquiries about any arts-related legal matters. Each Clinic 
runs for  
approximately three hours, with the first half-hour 
appointment at  
4:00 pm , and the last appointments at 6:30 pm . It is open 
to all  
individuals and art organizations that have a legitimate 
legal issue.  
 
In the past, artists and arts organizations have presented 
issues in  
the following areas: copyright, trademark, contract, 
employment  
issues, non- payments, collaborations, etc. For example, an 
artist who  
has been offered a contract may seek assistance in 
understanding its  
basic terms. An artist may ascertain whether her 
intellectual property  
rights are being infringed. Exploring alternatives for 
starting for-  
profit and not-for-profit business entities is also a 
common matter.  
 
To sign-up for one free 30-minute appointment, the artist 
or arts  
organization representative must first call our Art Law 
Line at  
212.319.2787 x1, and speak with one of our interns 
regarding their  
question. Our interns will then consult with a staff 
attorney to make  
sure your concern is appropriate for the Clinic. Upon staff 
attorney  
approval, the caller will then be given one free 30-minute 
appointment  
to one of the two free legal clinics. These two free 
clinics will be  
filled on a first-come first-serve basis to those approved 
by VLA for  
an appointment.
