Below, an excerpt from a 1968 San Diego KPBS-TV documentary called The Music of Harry Partch where he shows off his instruments and gives a performance of Daphne of the Dunes.

Have a look at his website as well as the one of NewBand, which received custodianship of the original Harry Partch Instrument Collection in 1990.

On September 12, 2010, West performed a new song, “Runaway” featuring Pusha T, at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Shortly after the performance, Kanye revealed he was working on a 35 minute short film based around the song. The movie is said to be “influenced by film noir and concerns a fallen phoenix whom he falls in love with”. The short filmed debuted consecutively on VH1, MTV, and BET on October 23. And here it is!

“Butoh” is the collective name for a diverse range of activities, techniques and motivations for dance, performance, or movement inspired by the Ankoku-Butoh movement. It typically involves playful and grotesque imagery, taboo topics, extreme or absurd environments, and is traditionally “performed” in white-body makeup with slow hyper-controlled motion, with or without an audience. But there is no set style, and it may be purely conceptual with no movement at all. Its origins have been attributed to Japanese dance legends Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno.

“A Girl” is a 1973 performance. It lasts 91 minutes.
