Business Overview

[Events to be experienced] Nohgaku: Shimai, Utai, Kotsuzumi (small hand drum) [Number of times a participant experiences the practical skills (including recitals and rehearsals)] 5 lessons + 1 recital + 8 classroom lectures * Classroom lectures can be taken on a one-time basis [Main Instructors] Misa HAYASHI (Nohgakushi of the Konparu school of shite-kata [lead actors]), Kayu OMURA (Nohgakushi of the Ko school of kotsuzumi-kata [small hand drum players]) [Features of the project] The program is aimed at those who have never seen Nohgaku before or who are completely beginners, and is open to all ages from children to adults. You can choose to practice Shimai, Utai, or Kotsuzumi. (Those who have participated in the Nohgaku Experience Program 2022 will be able to proceed to the next step.) We are also planning to hold a classroom lecture using Zoom in addition to the practical skills. In the classroom lectures, you will not only learn the basics of Nohgaku, but also hear from professionals in various genres about the appeal of Nohgaku from their unique perspectives. [Publicity efforts when recruiting participants (cooperation, cooperation, network, etc.)] In addition to the announcement on the website of Shiraainokai, we will advertise through SNS (Twitter, Instagram posts, paid advertisements, etc.). [Devise to enable participants to continue practical experience (other than the subsidized project) after the completion of the project] Those who become more interested in Nohgaku through the course can continue to practice. We hope to increase interest by publicizing performances by leading Noh actors and Noh plays of other schools. In order for more people to know about Nohgaku, we will continue to use SNS to promote Nohgaku so that people can approach it from any angle.
