BodyWeather is a dance movement founded by Min Tanaka, the first Japanese butoh dancer to engage in a direct dialogue between Eastern and Western artists, including the Fluxus movement, Nam June Paik and Robert Rauschenberg.
Tess de Quincey worked with Min Tanaka for six years in Japan 1985-91 and introduced the BodyWeather practice to Australia in 1989, founding De Quincey Co, Australia’s leading BodyWeather company in 2000.
De Quincey and Denley have a long history of collaboration and explore the resonance between contemporary performance and works in the newly opened Kaldor collection celebrated during this Open Weekend.
