Released in September 1986, "Gone to Earth" (David Sylvian, right) was recorded in part at The Manor Studios in Oxfordshire, England, with producer Steve Nye. The double album, containing seven vocal tracks and ten instrumental pieces, intermingles the personal with the themes of gnosticism and alchemy, and features contributions from guitarists Bill Nelson and Robert Fripp, alongside Steve Jansen and Kenny Wheeler.

Sankai Juku (From Wikipedia) Sankai Juku is an internationally known Butoh dance troupe. Co-founded by Amagatsu Ushio in 1975, they have toured the world since 1980, performing and teaching.
Amagatsu Ushio continues as the group’s director, choreographer and designer. He trained in classical as well as modern dance before he developed his own “second-generation” Butoh style. He matains that while "Butoh is a dialogue with the gravity, " other dance forms tend to revel in escape from gravity. He sees his dance, in contrast, is based on "sympathizing or synchronizing" with gravity.
Butoh’s source is the Japanese avant-garde of the 1960s, a period when Japan struggled with the lingering effects of the atomic bomb detonations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II. [1] Originally called "ankoku butoh," or "dance of darkness," the medium created a space for the intensely grotesque and perverse on the stage. Amagatsu's work exhibits the conventional tensions of Butoh, but envelops them in a mood of emotional stillness. “Sankai Juku” means "studio by the mountain and the sea," and implies the serenity and calm which is characteristic of the work.
Sankai Juku’s performers typically have shaved heads, and bodies covered in white rice powder [2]. They may be costumed, partially costumed, or unclothed. Rarely wearing typical “street” clothing onstage, they sometimes wear long skirt-like garments.
