KATSURA KAN:  
A native of Kyoto, Kan is a  Master Butoh artist. He performs with the 
seminal Butoh troupe “Byakkosha”  (1979-1981) known for its austerity and 
integrity, rather than theatrical  glamour. He is a celebrated solo artist, 
collaborative performer and  choreographer. Kan has worked with what he calls “minority 
dancers” all over  the world, in remote locations throughout Africa, Europe, 
South East Asia for  the past 28 years, in addition to performing his creative 
works in  cosmopolitan culture.

XIMENA GARNICA, was born in Bogotá,  Colombia in 1981. She is an 
actress-dancer, choreographer, and emerging  theater director and installation artist 
based in New York City. Since 2003,  she has been the co-director of CAVE, a 
grassroots not-for-profit arts  organization and artist collective in Williamsburg, 
Brooklyn. She is the  co-director/founder and curator of the New York Butoh 
Festival. In 2005  Garnica won the prestigious Van Lier Fellowship for young 
Hispanic directors  in New York, setting her name at the vanguard of emerging 
directors in New  York City. Garnica began performing at the age of eight, and 
trained with  theater director/actor Mario Jurado in Colombia before moving to 
New York City  in 1998, when she began self-training in Japanese Butoh Dance 
and physical  theater, and developing her first company project, CAVEnsemble, 
in 2000 and  later LEIMAY AcTS LAB. She continued her studies in Butoh with 
prominent  artists such as Akira Kasai, Ko Murobushi, Yukio Waguri and Yuko 
Kaseki, among  others. She has also performed the choreography of Yukio Waguri, 
Atsushi  Takenuchi and Akira Kasai. Recently she has return to NY, having spent 
one  year in Tokyo as an apprentice of Kasai, Akira, a master Butoh artist 
among  the ranks of Japan’s first generation of  Butoh.

SHIGE MORIYA Originally from  Kyoto, Japan (born in 1967), and now based in 
Williamsburg, Shige works as a  video-based installation artist, creating 
installations of filmy sculptures  that form a landscape for projected movements of 
color and light. His  videography has been used in theater and dance 
productions, and a  substantial amount of his work is performed live in an 
interdisciplinary  environment often collaborating with musician, dancers and other 
visual  artists.  His work has been presented in Japan, Finland, Vietnam and  
Germany.  Initially working as an assistant curator at Cast Iron Gallery  in Soho 
in 1993, 3 yrs later he co-founded CAVE, one of the longest-running  
experimental art spaces and artist collectives in Brooklyn.  As curator  of the gallery 
program of CAVE for the last 10 years, much of his time has  been devoted to 
supporting and presenting the work of emerging visual and  multi-disciplinary 
artists. Currently Moriya is co-director of CAVE,  co-curator of the New York 
Butoh Festival, and a core member of performance  companies LEIMAY and 
CAVEnsemble.   _http://www_ (http://www.shige.moriya.googlpages.com)

JACK WRIGHT  has been a bold saxophonist, shifting  over the years from a 
focus on free jazz to his current interest in using the  instrument simply to 
create sound. Either on tour or organizing the next one,  he has played in 
virtually every venue available to experimental improvised  music in the US, and 
many in Europe as well. In 1982 he began Spring Garden  Music as a vehicle for 
organizing an improvisational music community; he  currently has about sixty 
partners with whom he collaborates. As a musical  explorer his music passes 
through radical shifts of style and approach from  one year to the next, and one 
group to the next, yet always somehow  identifiable as his own. These days he is 
playing mostly alto and soprano  saxophones, in every possible direction, 
sometimes even recognizable as  such. He lives in Easton, which enables him to 
commute easily to NYC  and Phila. He is also increasingly active in Europe, 
touring both sides of the  Atlantic with European musicians. He has 35 recordings, 
samples of which are  available at his website below.

together with Slava Smelovsky in 1995. Grundik's music  is published through 
various labels, e.g. Creative Sources (Portugal),  Stateart (Germany) and Auris 
Media (Israel). His sound installations were  presented at the Herzelia Museum of 
Art (Israel), Diapason Gallery (NY), Art  in General (NY), CAVE (NY), Andrea 
Meislin Gallery (NY), Galleria Pack  (Italy), Haifa Museum of the Arts 
(Israel), Digitalis 2 (Canada) and  Pixxelpoint 2002 (Slovenia).  grusla.com
