We are thrilled to announce that Yumiko Yoshioka will be our guest for the 2026 Asheville Butoh Festival!

This year’s festival will be at The New Studio of Dance and BeBe Theater in downtown Asheville, NC. The Festival is set to take place August 21-23 with performances and intensive workshops!

We need help to pay for airfare, performance and teaching fees, studio rental, etc. Every donation helps and we appreciate your support.

We hope to see you at the 2026 Asheville Butoh Festival!
