In addition, besides practical skills training, we plan to hold ZOOM lectures. As well as providing basic knowledge of Noh, the lectures and Art Camp will feature professionals in various genres talking about the appeal of Noh from their unique perspectives.
Publicity methods for the recruitment of participants (collaboration, cooperation, networking, etc.)

Ways to enable participants to continue with practical skills experience (other than programs covered by this grant) after the end of the event
For those who wish to continue learning Nohgaku, we can introduce general practice facilities. Previous graduates of this program will also be invited to attend the kimono dressing session and the presentation. At the end, there will be an opportunity to interact with graduates who still continue the lessons.
Shiraai-no-kai
Formed by the three Noh performers Kayu Omura (Kou-school, small drum), Misa Hayashi (Komparu-school, Dancer and singer), and Hachirou Tsujii (Komparu-school, Dancer and singer). The organization was formed with the aim of promoting and popularizing Noh beyond the boundaries of styles/schools and roles.
