Contact Nicole 773/387-8418, info@blushingpoppy.orgMs. Nakajima has been a primal force in butoh since the 1960's and continues to hold dynamic presence through her teaching, solo work, and company, Mutekisha. Much scholarship has lauded Nakajima for her cultivation of the feminine/feminist and spiritual/shaman. Her research brought butoh off thestage to the community of elderly, children, and people with disabilities. blushing poppy is honored to offer this rare opportunity to study with the legendary butoh master.
