'Most motionless art form' comes to Nikkei

A Kanze-style Noh - a traditional Japanese musical drama - is being shown at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre in Burnaby on June 28.

Noh is said to be the "most motionless art form."

There will be three workshops for kids to get to know the world of Noh, and a talk about Noh, as well as the show.

The theme of the event is "Samurai's world view," and it is aimed at introducing Noh and Japanese art forms in an easy way for those who are less familiar with them.

The morning workshop, Samurai fun with upcoming star of Kanze-style, takes place from 10 to 11: 30 a.m.

There is also a lunch workshop about the Chi, or energy, of Noh through Aikido, which takes place from 1 to 2: 30 p.m.

There is an afternoon collage workshop by a Byoubu artist from 3 to 4: 30 p.m.

The evening session, which includes a Noh performance, takes place from 6 to 7: 30 p.m.

The workshops and performance will be in Japanese, with English interpretation.
