New collection of English language noh plays, taking us from saints to suffragettes! E-book out today from @bloomsburybooks.bsky.social #intercultural #japanesetheatre #noh #englishlanguagenoh
“Noh is not a homogenous or static performance art; rather it is a dynamic and evolving form.” Thank you to editors Richard Emmert & Ashley Thorpe for compiling this new book of English language noh plays and analyses, testament to its intercultural importance.

Noh masks are a crucial element of Noh theatre, representing various characters such as gods, demons, and spirits. Each mask is meticulously crafted to convey different emotions and personalities through subtle changes in angle and lighting. #NohMasks #JapaneseTheatre #TraditionalArts #Culture

Here is an interview I conducted with "Meadow" the artistic director of Mashiro Small Theatre. He talks about the challenges and possibilities of creating shogekijo (little theatre / fringe theatre) in VR. etherealmaterials.net/shogekijo-x-...

人形で表現する女らしい泣き方。人間と同じように手を目元に持っていこうとすると、顔を叩いているように見えてしまうから、人形は顔を手に向けて寄せる感じでやるとのこと。
淡路人形座【公式】 on Instagram: ". 人形が涙を拭く、繊細なひとつの動き。 実は、人間とは逆のアプローチなんです。 観るたびに「え、ほんまに生きてる?」と驚かれるこの動き。 淡路人形座ならではの演じ方、ぜひご覧ください。 A puppet wiping her tears—gracefully and precisely. Unlike humans, the movement is reversed. It’s one of the moments that makes people say, “Wait… is she actually alive?” #淡路島旅行 #淡路島観光 #関西旅行 #日本の伝統 #人形浄瑠璃 #淡路人形座 #伝統芸能 #日本文化 #awajishima #visitjapan #japantrip #japanesetheatre #bunraku #traditionalart #japanesepuppetry #cooljapan"

The cardboard attempt at a Noh Theatre mask by me. Each hair was painstakingly painted one strand at a time.

This is my review of "Omnibus Performance Vol. 1," four short Japanese plays for VR, produced by Mashiro Small Theater. Each play ran for about 15 minutes and tackled some substantial themes and ideas related to temporality. #theatre #vrtheatre #japanesetheatre #performance #vrchat

I guarantee you -320°F is unlike any other work of theatre you've ever seen. Don't believe me? Go see for yourself at Sadler's Wells Theatre until 11 July.
