This workshop explored the essence of movement and self-expression of Noh, an artform with a legacy spanning 650 years.
The Noh movements are choreographed using a range of basic patterns called kata. Led by Yasuki Kobayakawa and Yasumitsu Kobayakawa of the Kanze School, participants discovered Noh’s stylised movement and expressions, how to focus their centre of gravity and energy, and movement patterns of Noh.
The full beauty of Noh masks and costumes, minimalised movements and expressions are made manifest on top of basic movements.
