Students explore the history of "kabuki" theatre, learn basic movement techniques for men ("samurai") and women ("onnagata"). Wearing kimono costumes, students stage a traditional Japanese folktale, such as" Momotaro" ("The Peach Boy") or "Issun Boshi" ("The One Inch Boy") using hand fans and wearing washable "kabuki" face paint.
