What kind of impression do you have of Noh?
Too slow?
Okay…
Here is a sound clip that I would like to introduce.
Noh is a dance drama. So, a main character dances along to music and chanting, often while wearing an elaborate costume and a Noh mask.
Can you imagine that? It may be difficult to have a clear idea on Noh if you haven’t watched any performances before.
Even if you have, you may be thinking... I don’t quite understand how to appreciate Noh.
Okay. Honestly speaking, I was thinking like that too. So how exactly can we appreciate Noh?
To address this question and discover the wonders of Noh, I have interviewed Richard Emmert.
Being a certified Kita school instructor, he has studied, taught, and performed Noh for almost 50 years. He has also founded Theatre Nohgaku in an effort to share a passion for Noh internationally. Together with his team, he has made English-speaking Noh available, and has performed Noh in the US, Europe, and Asia.
More information about Noh expert Richard Emmert and his work can be found in the following sites:
