BudoFlux
In collaboration with Howard Katz
Howard and I began collaborating in 1990 with multimedia performances blending martial arts, visual arts, and dance. In 2000 we co-founded BudoFlux, a collective merging visual and performing arts with the physical, psychological, and strategic aspects of budo—Japanese for “the martial way,” encompassing karate, tai chi, aikido, and Zen-linked principles addressing daily life. “Flux” references Fluxus, the 1960s conceptual art movement marked by nihilism, humor, disorder, and Zen-like ego dissolution. Beyond martial arts projects, we construct “Picture Songs”—music videos pairing Howard’s music with my imagery.
