Vanessa Skantze's Butoh piece, a "song of the Western Hemisphere" scored by 10 Seattle musicians like Pink Void, Masaaki Masao, and Uneasy Chairs, is divided into seven elemental movements: "Stone, Sea, Wind, Fire, Serpent, Muck, River." Skantze writes that it "invokes the beauty and pain of the Americas: working with the gods of Mexico, North America, and Haiti primarily [...] to face the dark energy in being white."
