DAIPANbutoh Collective formed to support local and international performers whose work is focused on butoh, and to provide outreach and education through workshops, classes and symposiums.

Butoh energetically questions the nature of country, history, and personal identity, and tries to envision the creation of a future springing out of the chaos of the human condition.

Seven DAIPANactive members … spearhead efforts for social justice, equal opportunity; distinctively discovering the essence of different cultures progressively bonding, expanding social networks through a distinctly personal-universal butoh.
