'What moves you' is far more important than 'What you think to do'.

Japan's historical figure Zeami, who created Noh Theatre, was an actor and aesthetician who first prioritized the Introspective approach to the theater. He insisted that the mind and body exist in ideal space to create profound art. This idea applies equally to Butoh. The Butoh dancer must sublimate their body without regards to the cause of the movement. 'What moves you' is far more important than 'What you think to do'. When a dancer quiets their mind and allows the imagination to lead the movement, they will be engaged in a universal mind. Only at this stage can the audience be free to witness the genuine human condition. The founder of Butoh in the late 1950s, Tatsumi Hijikata, named this dynamism "Butoh."  

In world first Butoh piece, Kinjiki collaborated with controversial Japanese author Yukio Mishima who helped the dancers transform into other states of being.
