Briana Chittenden Jones has been studying and training in Butoh Dance since 2002. Her training has been guided by many internationally renowned butoh dancers. Since 2005 her main focus has been in public performance. In addition to her solo work, she collaborates with other musicians and dancers in intense choreographed pieces.

"Butoh has always been a deep calling for me. The soul beckons to the body to be unearthed. Suffering through the light and leaping into the darkness. This is my attempt to physically express the transformation and the experience of the dance. To be present while taking the risk that breaks the bond that holds the body and mind back is what I try to achieve."
