More Details
In 2022, following a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we redesigned the program to offer arts each year in rotation, such as nō, kyōgen, kabuki, bunraku, Nihon buyō, and rakugo. T.T.T. will be a three-week training and we will offer kyōgen and Nihon buyō, with an optional short course in kotsuzumi (nō shoulder drum). The program, founded by Jonah Salz and Shigeyama Akira in 1984, is based on the practice-recital approach and allows participants from all over the world to come together to learn the skills and spirit of Japan's traditional performing arts in Kyoto, the traditional heart of Japan. Requirements for Application Open to all: students and teachers, researchers and artists actively involved with artistic forms of expression such as theater and dance. Those interested in Japanese culture, regardless of educational or artistic background, are also encouraged to apply. Participants should be able to commit to attending all scheduled sessions, from orientation to the final recital. Open to all nationalities, ages, and genders. Japanese language proficiency is not required. Daily training take place at the KYOTO ART CENTER studios in downtown Kyoto and the recital is held on the stage of the 100+ year-old Ōe Nō Theater.
