Event Description

After dinner, while sightseeing, or when returning home from work, how about casually coming into contact with some traditional performance art?
Please definitely enjoy a nighttime event where you can experience things such as a workshop on Noh plays ("Noh" and "Kyogen comedies"), a geisha dance, and food carts for things like Matcha tea!
English language interpreters will be on hand so that overseas visitors can enjoy the event.
We are holding the event five times, and in part 1 of the event, a Noh workshop will alternate with a performance of a Kyogen comedy. You can watch the Kyogen comedy "Kaminari" at the 3rd event.

◆Kyogen「Kaminari」
Oni-Kyogen(Kyogen that ogres appear in humorous). A quack doctor from the capital is on his way to the eastern provinces. As he comes upon a wide field, the sky suddenly clouds over, and with a flash and a boom, Kaminari - he is a god of thunder - flies out from the sky and falls at his feet.
Kaminari tells the cowering doctor that the fall injured his hip and demands that the doctor cure him.
Using a mallet, the doctor drives a huge needle into the Kaminari's hip. Kaminari cries out in pain, but when the treatment is done, his hip is cured, and he immediately tries to ascend back to the clouds. When doctor requests his fee for the cure, Kaminari says he has no money to pay.
Well then, what will Kaminari do?

Craig Kingsley has been performing on the stage for over 40 years. He has acted in and directed several plays in both America and Japan. While an exchange student, he saw Kyogen for the first time and fell in love. Since 1992, Craig has studied Kyogen with Fukuoka Okura Kai under the guidance of Shigeyama Chuzaburo. He is an active member of Sarugaku Kai and is one of the few recognized non-Japanese students of Kyogen in the world. He has performed on Noh stages throughout Japan, including the historic stage at Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island (a United Nations World Heritage site). Craig also tours Kyogen internationally and conducts workshops for visitors to Japan.
When not on the stage, Craig works as a researcher and instructor in children’s education. He strongly believes in the value of edutainment and promotes the concept religiously within public and private schools and at education conferences. In recent years, he has combined his experience in children’s education with his love of Kyogen, and is teaching the art to children in order to insure that future generations continue to enjoy Kyogen. In 2018, he established the “I am Taro Kaja to Kodomo-tachi” project under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture.
