Curious about Japanese Noh theatre?�Join us for a free class featuring a video screening of the classic Noh play, "Benkei Aboard Ship"! This is a rare opportunity to learn more about this mysterious and moving art form.

"Benkei�Aboard Ship" (Funabenkei)�tells of the efforts of the great war hero, Yoshitsune, and his loyal retainer,�Benkei, to escape from the clutches of his evil half-brother, the shogun Yoritomo. The play features a skillful dance by Yoshitsune's mistress, Lady Shizuka, and a dramatic encounter with the ghosts of Yoshitsune's past enemies on the waves of the sea. (Synopsis:�http://www.the-noh.com/en/plays/data/program_003) You will also be introduced to basics of Noh masks.
