After considering the extremes of masks for vengeful roles to the subtleties of masks that mirror fleeting regret, examples of the actor’s physical expression of these emotions through dance will be given, culminating in a costumed presentation from the Noh Hashitomi “The Lattice Shutter.”
This performance features Rebecca Ogamo-Teele and members of the Kongo Noh School, Kyoto. It is part of a week-long festival of Noh theater at the Claremont Colleges. See the festival schedule here.
