Heyward Bracey—a butoh influenced dancer/movement artist—has worked and performed with a number of experimental dance collectives including Corpus Delicti, Body Weather Laboratory, Los Angeles Movement Arts, and, most recently, WXPT - The School for the Movement of the Technicolor People. He has collaborated with master butoh artist Katsura Kan in Los Angeles, New York, and at the Seattle International Dance Festival. His recent solo, Stealing Skin 6, was presented at the Bare Bones Butoh Showcase in San Francisco, Pieter Performance Space in Los Angeles, and Central Cultural Los Talleres in Mexico City. Heyward's interest in the body as a social/political/spiritual process has led to recent collaborations with Emily Mast in The Least Important Things, presented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and The Cage is a Stage, presented at University of Toronto Mississauga, the Harbourfront Centre Theatre, Toronto, and the REDCAT, Los Angeles.
