Body Movement

In the Buyo style of traditional Japanese dance, the act of dancing expresses not only emotions such as joy and sorrow, but also concepts such as respect for nature. In Noh and Kyogen, each movement has been refined over centuries, reduced to its simplest and most beautiful form so that its symbolic meaning is clear to every member of the audience. Today we welcome dancer and choreographer Yukio Suzuki to the program as we discover the beauty of movement in Japanese culture.
