Butoh-Fu (Notasi Butoh) telah diciptakan oleh pengasas butoh, Hijikata Tatsumi (1928-1986) dan disusun oleh pelajarnya, Yukio Waguri (1952-2017) secara retrospektif. Butoh-Fu digunakan sebagai satu kaedah koreografi. Kaedah tersebut telah diperkenalkan kepada penari tempatan oleh Yukio Waguri sejak akhir tahun 2000-an. Artikel ini menerangkan perkembangan seni butoh khususnya di Semenanjung Malaysia dan menjelaskan peranan Butoh-Fu dalam pengkaryaan, melalui kajian kes produksi Reminiscence, The World of the Strange Tales (2013), di mana penulis terlibat sebagai penari. Data yang diperolehi melalui kaedah pemerhatian ikut serta, temu bual kumpulan dan refleksi kendiri telah diwacanakan untuk mengisi kekosongan mengenai perkembangan butoh dalam penyelidikan seni tari tempatan. Artikel ini turut mencadangkan bahawa memiliki satu sistem notasi yang dicipta dan diguna khas oleh komuniti pengamalan sendiri adalah berkesan dalam mempercepatkan pengenalan sesuatu genre tari, serta relevan dalam perakuan autoriti professionalisme. Butoh-Fu (Butoh Notation) was created by the founder of butoh, Hijikata Tatsumi (1928-1986) and compiled by his student, Yukio Waguri (1952-2017) retrospectively. Butoh-Fu is used as a choreographic method. The method has been introduced to the local dancers by guru Yukio Waguri (1952-2017) since the late 2000’s. This article describes the development of butoh especially in peninsular Malaysia, and explains the role of Butoh-Fu in dance creation and performance, through stage production Reminiscence, The World of the Strange Tales (2013) as a case study, which I was involved as a dancer. Data obtained through the methods ofparticipant observation, group interviews and self-reflection were made as a discourse tofill in the absence of butoh’s development in local dance research. This article also suggeststhat a notation system that was created and used by its community of practitioners, isindeed effectively speed up the circulation of the dance genre and relevant to enhanceits authority of professionalism.
