Hisao Kanze (1925-1978), one of the greatest shite actors (the masked lead in a Noh play) of all time, was often asked how he wanted to act on stage. He replied, ‘I long to stand like a flower in nature.’

In this workshop, two shite actors offer a hands-on chance to learn the basic movement patterns of Noh, including use of physical space and breath control. Attendees should bring a pair of tabi or white socks to wear during the workshop.
