33. What is Kabuki? • Kabuki includes both plays and dances, performed to the traditional music of Japan using Shamisen, tsuzumi (drums), yoko-bue (flute), and voices.

34. Kabuki歌舞伎 • form of traditional Japanese theatre • Originally performed by women in the dry riverbeds of the cities so they could escape prostitution charges. • known for stylization of drama and the elaborate make-up worn by performers • kanji characters mean: • sing (歌), dance (舞), and skill (伎) • sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing“

35. Kabuki歌舞伎 • derive from the verb kabuku, meaning "to lean" or "to be out of the ordinary” • kabuki can be interpreted to mean "bizarre" theatre • kabukimono (歌舞伎者) • referred originally to those who were bizarrely dressed

36. 1603–1629: Female Kabuki • began in 1603 when Okuni, a miko (geisha in training) began performing a new style of dance drama in the dry riverbeds of Kyoto • played both men and women in comic plays about ordinary life • instantly popular; rival troupes quickly formed • appeal was due to suggestive performances and performers were sometimes available for prostitution

37. Okuni dressed as a samurai

38. 1629-1652: Young Male Kabuki • Wakashu - young male actors took over after women were banned from performing • could take the role of women due to their less masculine appearance and higher pitched voices • focused more on drama rather than dance • their performances were as equally suggestive and they too became available for prostitution • lead shogunate to ban young male actors in 1652

39. 1652-1868 • Fell out of favor with ruling class • Associated more with lower class entertainment • Became popular again in 1868 with fall of the samurai class and the opening of Japan to the west • Actors were all older males by this period
