Research FROM SIRENS TO SUPER-HEROES: EDO PERIOD KABUKI THEATRE Anne Phillips , 27 May 2003 Kabuki is a type of Japanese theatre which flourished amongst the rapid urbanisation of Edo period Japan (1600-1867). In this period, Kabuki developed from small-scale dances in dry riverbeds to full-blown dramatic performances in theatres which could house over 1000 paying customers at a time. Kabuki was topical, feeding on fashions and fads, and at times, even creating them. It evolved with the communities of townspeople who patronised it, as well as the broader changes which affected Japanese society as a whole. This ‘slice of old Japan’ is still performed 12 months of the year at the Kabuki-za in Tokyo, and less often at other theatres around the country, but it is good to think about how modern Kabuki differs from Edo period Kabuki. What elements of Edo period kabuki remain with us today and what elements have been left behind? During the lecture we consider this question while taking a tour of Edo period kabuki using works of art and videos to bring out the diversity of plays and performance styles. The lecture will focus on the following four areas: 1. In the late early 1600s, exotic dances were performed at a Kyoto riverbed. These performances by women featured imported fashions and cross-dressing, and became so popular that they caused disturbances and were banned. Later, performances by young men were also banned, with laws being passed which demanded both a plot and older male performers. Decorative screens provide us with visual evidence (albeit somewhat romanticised) of Kabuki in this period.

The most traditional forms of Japanese performing arts including kabuki noh (theater) and dance are still being performed in Japan in much the same way as they have been for hundreds of years. Kabuki Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese theatre which was developed and enjoyed by the middle and lower classes. The earliest evidence of kabuki dates back to 1603 when O-Kuni, a female servant at the Izumo Taisha Shrine in Kyoto arranged for a troupe of performers to put on a show in order to raise money for the repair of the shrine. Early kabuki featured both male and female performers who were often times geisha . During the Tokugawa period some of these performances became so immodest that female performers were banned from the stage and male actors took on the female roles (onna-gata). With the emergence of a strong merchant class in the Edo period, popular culture thrived and kabuki became more sophisticated and stylized. The

The play is interesting on several levels: it has a strong dramatic action, concerns an important problem in the transition of Japanese drama from traditional forms to modern ones, reveals the kind of serious misunderstandings that occur when cultures collide, allows for exciting "fusion" scenes in which Shakespeare is produced kabuki -style, and brings to the stage several real-life

Please visit our site -HOME JAPANESE KABUKI THEATRE Kabuki is a traditional form of Japanese theatre founded in the Edo period (1603-1868). By the 1930’s it had developed into a sophisticated and highly stylized form. The world of Kabuki is a sealed world that could only to be entered if one was born into an acting family, or eimoto , where the head of the acting ‘house’ is the main actor, or teacher. Because of edicts passed in the Edo period, only males may act in Kabuki, leading to the world of onnagata actors, or female impersonators. Alexandre Iacouleff was born in St. Petersburg in 1887, the son of a naval officer. He went on voyages to Mongolia, Japan and China recording his journey with watercolours and pastel artworks. He went to Shanghai in 1918, and in 1920 to Paris and London, exhibiting work revealing the influences of his extensive travels. In the latter half of the Ninteenth century Japanese art and society had a huge influence on the European art world. Here Iacouleff's intriguing illustrations of that mysterous world of theatre, shows that influence interpreted by the Art Deco environment of the 1930's.
