Event features
In a curriculum that includes practice sessions giving participants hands-on experience of the three art forms of Nihon Buyo, Nagauta Shamisen and Rakugo, tours to see professionals performing in theaters, and special lectures in which participants learn about art and the body from an anatomical point of view, the course provides participants with the opportunity for comprehensive learning about the appeal and the values common to the traditional performing arts, something which would be difficult if participants experienced only one type of performing art. As well as being able to acquire knowledge and skills from leading instructors in the space of Geino-Kadensha, used by professional performing arts organizations, participants can also organize social events with professional performers and friends..

A framework enabling participants to continue with hands-on experience (practice) of traditional performing arts
Geino-Kadensha Club will continue to be held next year and beyond, serving as a source of continuous opportunities for cultural and artistic experience for people who wish to participate. It is undecided whether a new specialized course will be offered after next year, but participants who are interested in learning and practising a specific traditional performing art can be introduced to an appropriate instructor on an individual basis.
