We've just learned that Katsura Kan has been hired to teach a workshop to students in Kyoto, Japan from March 24-27, 2016. (For those unaware, Kan is responsible for the death of Sharon Stern, a student of his that he manipulated and exploited physically, mentally, sexually, and financially.)
We are sending detailed warning letters with evidence to the organizers of the 'Kyoto Experiment' who hired Kan, to the local press in Kyoto, and also to city officials and other important relevant entities in an effort to safeguard students from this predatory teacher.
If you would like to help us in our efforts:

Dear Event Organizer,
Katsura Kan is a known sociopath and predator in the USA; he uses his position as a Butoh teacher to manipulate and exploit his vulnerable students, especially young females. One of his past students is dead as the result of his influence and he is currently being sued by her estate (in the middle of the litigation).
Please don't allow any more students to be harmed by Kan. I ask that you please fire him from his position and never hire him again in the future. After what he has done, he should never be allowed to teach and/or interact with students again.
Sincerely,
First Name, Last Initial
