Winter Term 2020

Learning Noh Drama in Japan

Elsie Wang is an East Asian Studies and Comparative Literature double major. Given her passion for Japanese and Chinese Theater, she traveled to Tokyo to explore Japanese Noh drama. During her three week stay, Elsie watched live Noh performances, learned the art of Noh theater, and interviewed professional and amateur Noh actors. Through this immersive experience, Elsie hopes to continue to engage in the rich cultural cultural traditions of Noh theater in Oberlin and beyond.
