Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble

Noh Training Project

July 20th- August 8th, 2009

What is Noh?

One of the oldest continually performed theatre forms in the world, noh combines dance, chant, music, and mask in a powerful and stately performance experience requiring intense inner concentration and physical discipline. Actors, directors, dancers, musicians, and academics interested in a non-Western performance experience are encouraged to apply.

Noh Training Project

The Noh Training Project is a summer three-week intensive, performance-based training in the dance, chant, music and performance history of Japanese classical noh drama. The Noh Training Project offers the most intensive and extensive noh training available in the United States.

Featuring a full torchlight performance of Funabenkei
in the Bloomsburg Town Park on August 7 & 8, 2009 at 7:00PM
with noh masters Matsui Akira and Oshima Kinue.
