On German Radio Again!

In addition to her radio program on “Japanorama” about the Origin program, Uta Kodaira made a program about Noh, including an interview of me and sound recordings of Tatsushige-sensei, who happened to be practicing at Iori on the day Frau Kodaira came to Iori for the interviews.

Frau Kodaira asked me about what Noh is, about women and foreigners performing the traditionally male art-form, and about my own studies of Noh.  With this program, Frau Kodaira also began spreading the word in Germany about Udaka-sensei’s Europe tour in November.  At the end of the program is a clip from Genshigumo/Inori, a Noh play written by Udaka-sensei which will be performed in Paris, Dresden, and Berlin on the tour.

To listen, go to the link above, click on “Wochenübersicht” and then on “So.” The clip should pop up in Realplayer.

NOTE: Since NHK is putting all its efforts into producing international English television, their quality work in radio with a history dating to before WWII was terminated last year.  These broadcasts are no longer online, and I don’t have a recording either. . .
