Theatre Nohgaku at BU
BU Arts Initiative-Office of the Provost, the Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program, the Center for the Study of Asia, and the CAS Department of English will be hosting a five-day residency with Theatre Nohgaku March 25-31, 2016.
Theatre Nohgaku is an international performance group devoted to sharing the beauty and power of the classical Japanese noh drama with English speaking audiences and performers. Noh, one of the oldest continuing stage arts, combines highly stylized dance, chant, music, mask, and costume with intense inner concentration and physical discipline. Theater Nohgaku performs traditional noh plays in Japanese and English translation and creates original works that combine noh’s performance techniques and modes of expression with twenty-first century concerns.
