LEDOH was born into the Ka-Ren culture indigenous to Burma and Northern Thailand. In Kyoto in 1989, Ledoh discovered Butoh via master performer Katsura Kan, with whom he performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to five-star reviews. Ledoh's site-specific solo collaborations with composers Reverend Markus Hawkins and Michael Kosacki have electrified audiences in and around San Francisco for over ten years. In 1998 Ledoh founded the Butoh performance collective Salt Farm.
