to make a large number of copies: work prints, layout
enlargements, press prints, other prints for art galleries,

labs and the atelier.
This series has been exhibited on numerous occasions.
Initially in 2005, as part of the William Klein Retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, where we presented a sequence of twenty-one vintage prints, in a formatof circa 20x30 cm. These same works were also exhibitedat the Tate Modern in London in 2012. Both these
exhibitions also featured a towering photographic printof 4m 80 of the Danse Happening contact peint, which
Klein produced in 2003. Subsequently, these same works
as well as other in large formats were exhibited at FOAM
in Amsterdam in 2013; at Palazzo della Ragione in Milan; at Botanique in Brussels (with a Buto performance);
at the Abbey Church of Saint-Ouen in Rouen in 2016,
and finally at the C/O Berlin in 2017.
Toward the end of 2014, Tiffany Pascal informed methat a certain Toshio Mizohata wanted to contact William Klein so as to propose a trip to Tokyo for him toattend a performance by Yoshito Ohno in front of Klein’s
photographs, in exhibition at Akio Nagasawa’s gallery.
He also wanted also to come and meet us at the atelier,in the hope of discovering other images from the series
shot by Klein in Tokyo. This was to be the beginningof our exchanges with the Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio.

In February 2015, the Polka Gallery in Paris organized
the exhibition Tokyo 1961. For the first time the public were able to see enlargements of some unpublishedphotographs from the “Dance Happening”. On that occasion, buto dancers performed both inside and outside
the gallery. The DVD Yoshito Ohno Flowerbird Butoh: A
Way of Life was also released in 2015, accompanied byan illustrated booklet. At the request of Bingo Sato andToshio Mizohata, I found, in 2016, all the vintage prints
from the series for publication in the art and fashion
magazine Libertin Dune. This resulted in the creation of
sixteen-paged portfolio with new elements, and especially shots from the rehearsal of Kinjiki.
Little by little, the full story of this fateful day in July
1961 was beginning to emerge. In July, Actes Sud andRencontres d’Arles, with the help of gallery owners Akio
Nagasawa, Jean-Kenta Gauthier, and Marie Lesbats,offered an extensive reading of this work. About forty
prints, including three new large formats, were exhibited at La Chapelle du Méjan, chronologically telling thestory of that day, in front of portraits of Kazuo Ohno
taken by Eikoh Hosoe.
At the beginning of 2017, Toshio Mizohata revisited tothe atelier with an extremely modern new exhibition
project: telling the story through virtual reality. I thendecided to develop the entire series and presented him
with twenty-two corresponding contact sheets, which
had been tucked away at the bottom of an orange folder.
In total: Klein shot 652 photographs in one day. Twenty-two negatives black-and -white 35mm films.
On 22 November 2017, I screened all my scanned images on my 24-inch monitor: they were larger and morereadable than a 24x36 negative. All the pieces of the puzzle are finally assembled. They have enabled me to reconstruct a film, a sequence, and a dance. It’s a (re) birth.

William Klein “Dance Happening” Archive
Pierre-Louis Denis (FILMS PARIS NEW YORK studio manager)

A year: 1961. A city: Tokyo. Three dancers: Tatsumi Hijikata, Yoshito Ohno and Kazuo Ohno. A photographer:William Klein.
William Klein’s final day of his trip to Tokyo was tospawn the first-ever “Dance Happening”, a one-of -itskind event and the first photographic document chronicling the beginnings of Butoh’s history: a trio of dancers
plus one photographer. Commencing indoors in a rehearsal studio, they then shifted to outdoor locations,from Ginza all the way to Shinbashi, from a street fullof small offices to subway corridors, in front of stunned
station staffs.
This series of photographs first gained public exposure in

the photo collection Tokyo in 1964 by Éditions Delpire(for the French edition). Four images from the shootfeatured in it, including the iconic “Crab Dancer” over a
double-page spread, an image subsequently reproduced
in numerous publications.
It posed quite a challenge for me to decipher the mysteryof that fateful day by browsing through the files containing contact sheets.
It all started in 1991, when William Klein entrusted mewith the keys of his atelier to develop his prints and toensure good management of his archives.
It was then I discovered “Crab Dancer” in a select folder,by an isolated negative, and also by means of another im-Dance Archive Network 07
