Kabuki Dance by Bando Kotoji
Stephens Hall Theatre, Towson University
Sunday, April 1, 7:30 p.m.
Kabuki dance is an elegant and refined style of Japanese traditional dance borrowed from and inspired by Kabuki theater repertoire. The program is led by the famed master dancer Bando Kotoji of the long established Bando School. From his vast repertoire, Kotoji has selected vibrant dances for this performance including the celebratory Sanbaso dance; Cho No Michiyki (The Last Journey of Two Butterflies); the dramatic and tragic dance Tamatorie Ama (The Pearl Diver); and Yoshino-yama (Yoshino Mountain) famous for its magnificent cherry blossoms. The dancers will be accompanied by two chanters and four musicians. Bando Kotoji?s five-city North American tour is co-produced by Japan Society and The Japan Foundation.
