Balinese Architecture: Towards an Encyclopaedia
AU$500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMade Wijaya
[Sanur]: Fotokopi, 1988.This book grew out of a report by students of the University of Sydney during a holiday design programme in Bali to which Wijaya was the tutor. “Most of the photographers were taken over the six months April – October, 1984. The selection is comprehensive in that it covers the full spectrum of Balinese Architecture — mountain to coastal, north to south, palatial to makeshift..” (from preface) Made Wijaya (born in Sydney as Michael White, 1953-2016) was a landscape architect who left Sydney for Bali as a break from architectural studies at University of Sydney and stayed, immersing himself in the Balinese culture, consorting with royalty, and in 1975 was renamed Made Wijaya by a priest in a Hindu temple ceremony. The New Compiled Edition, combining volumes 1 and 2. Photocopied pages (as issued) with 14 original colour photographs pasted in (copies are known to have differing numbers of added photographs). One of 50 numbered and signed copies, this copy further inscribed by Wijaya to the title page, and with numerous manuscript corrections as well as additional information tabs further describing many of the illustrations.

Ankoku Buto: The Premodern and Postmodern Influence on the Dance of Utter Darkness
AU$25.00 Read MoreAdd to cartSusan Blakeley Klein
Ithaca: East Asia Program, Cornell University, 1988.“A brief introduction to the history, philosophy, and techniques of the Japanese avant-garde dance movement, Ankoku Buto. Evoking images of grotesque beauty, revelling in the seamy underside of human behavior, Buto dance groups such as Sankai Juku and Dai Rakuda-kan have performed to wide critical and popular acclaim, making Buto one of the most influential new forces in the dance world today. The monograph traces the development of Buto from its birth in the bleak post-war landscape of 1950s Japan, and then addresses the question of Buto as a post-modern phenomenon, before going on to examine the influence of traditional Japanese performance on Buto techniques. The last chapter analyzes a specific dance (Niwa – The Garden) by Muteki-sha, to show how these techniques are used concretely. Includes translations of four essays on Buto by contemporary Japanese dance critics.” (publisher’s blurb)
