Join us at the intersection of gender and culture for an evening performance that explores the portrayal of women in Japanese and American music and art. Celebrating twenty years of collaboration, GenRyu Arts once again brings together a stellar cast of musicians and dancers from Chicago, San Francisco and Tokyo. This interdisciplinary performance features taiko (drums), jazz, dance, spoken word, and visual projections. Tatsu Aoki and Kevin Bean's visual artwork provides the backdrop for two special guests from Japan: shamisen grand master Chizuru Kineya and master dancer Michikaoru Hanayagi. Tatsu Aoki and Kioto Aoki from Chicago will be sharing the stage, along with the San Francisco-based musicians Francis Wong, Megan Lee, Wesley Hitomo Yee, and Melody Takata.

GenRyu Arts is proud to announce two upcoming performances at the Asian Art Museum on April 9th and 11th.
