Guest Teachers Biographies
MUNENORI TAKEDA
Munenori Takeda was born in 1978 into a prestigious family of Noh actors belonging to the Kanze School, which traces its roots to the 1300s. Munenori's father, grandfather, and several uncles are all certified as "Living National Treasures" in Japan. Noh has been described as a "Classical Japanese Musical," but Munenori likes to stress its rich poetic element.
Munenori first performed on the Noh stage at the age of two and continued throughout his childhood. As his interests in modern drama and music developed, however, he explored the arts outside the Noh tradition. At Waseda University, he studied modern theater, gaining new insights into his dramatic heritage. After graduation, he decided to devote his life to Noh.
Munenori gives more than 100 performances a year in Japan. He has also performed in Beijing, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Milan. He is active in promoting Noh for the young and for wider audiences, giving workshops, seminars, and performances involving audience participation. His magnetic stage presence has won him fans well beyond the confines of the Noh world, and he is widely recognized as one of the most talented young Noh performers.
YUBI YAZAKI
Yubi Yazaki is a renowned Sougeiga artist from Kanagawa, Japan. She is the sole successor to the Sougeiga art form's pioneer, Kobuchi Yodo. Based on several different traditional Japanese art techniques, Sougeiga is a truly original art style. Yodo's artwork has been well-received throughout Europe, Japan, and North America with more than 25 overseas exhibitions including the Japan Society in New York in 2008.
