Contemporary Performance Circuit
Contemporary Performance Circuit, 2010s-2020s, is a context in the bakushi / kinbaku ecosystem.
Era: 2010s
2010s-2020s context for rope moving through recurring performance, theatre, salon, festival and studio-show circuits. Rope Studies, Study on Falling, shibari / butoh stage work, travelling Shibari Theater formats and performer archives show rope functioning as public performance infrastructure rather than only class, lineage or party material. Museum, film-festival, gallery and institutional public-art crossover is documented separately.
