He insists that Japanese people have fewer opportunities to recognize their inner condition and gradually lose their ability to interact with other people as they are working as a part in the unified and standardized social system. By adopting the styles and principles of traditional Japanese theatre forms such as noh, which focuses on actors’ physical sensibility, Yasuda has developed his own acting method called Yamanote Method. This method is designed to improve the ability of performers’ physical expressions through various exercises and practices for their flexibility and improvisation. Through Yasuda’s method, the actors can focus on not only their own bodies but also their position in relation to others and the surroundings. By examining Yasuda’s acting method and theories employed in his A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this article explores how the director presents the sense of restraint and anxiety that Japanese people feel in their daily life and the ways of restoring the ability of interacting with other people in a modernized society.","PeriodicalId":42841,"journal":{"name":"ASIAN THEATRE JOURNAL","volume":"79 1","pages":"162 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84106719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mahābhārata Senki (The War Chronicles of the Mahabharata) demonstrates the extent to which kabuki theatre has reinvented itself and yet remains an integral part of Japanese tradition. The play’s opening scene presents a visual treat as spectators are wonderstruck by the transformation of kabuki and its age-old repertoires into a foreign atmosphere depicting the garden of heaven. The splendid mise-en-scène of act 1, scene 1, reveals an assembly of the Hindu gods Surya, Indra, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, who are all solemnly seated, wearing resplendent kathakali-style costumes and glittery makeup, typical of the Indian dance-drama form (Fig. 1). The Indian epicMahabharata, which depicts the power struggles between two branches of a royal family, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, has found expression in various versions of drama, literature, theatre, and film, including Peter Brook’s stage play and subsequent film in the 1980s. Shochiku’s grand kabuki is adapted from an earlier Indian storyline. In theMahabharata, Karna, the son of Surya (the Sun God), and Arjuna, the son of Indra (the God of Lightning), are born to the same mother, Princess Kunti (who later becomes the queen of Hastinapura","PeriodicalId":42841,"journal":{"name":"ASIAN THEATRE JOURNAL","volume":"69 1","pages":"209 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87414603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shih-I Hsiung: A Glorious Showman fulfills the latter approach extensively, with both skill and reverence. The author, Da Zheng, draws upon a rich bounty of source material, some known and a great deal previously unpublished. Including personal correspondences between Hsiung and family members, friends, government officials, and prominent figures in artistic fields, this study creates the most complete record of Hsiung’s life in a single volume. Scholarship on Hsiung is mostly geared toward dissecting and analyzing his most prominent accomplishment—the adapted play Lady Precious Stream (Wang Baochuan 王宝钏). This is unsurprising, as it is both the achievement that defined his career as a playwright and an event that changed the course of his life. As a result, the framing of Hsiung’s story in other scholarly work is most often delineated along the lines of artistic choices in staging this famous play and how well or how poorly his production lived up to what it was “supposed to be,” from both the modern European and canonical Chinese perspectives. Zheng shows us, however, that there is much more to know about Hsiung and his career. Complementing existing work, the author’s penetrating biographical treatment of Hsiung makes for both a","PeriodicalId":42841,"journal":{"name":"ASIAN THEATRE JOURNAL","volume":"11 1","pages":"215 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75978115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Isan has long been challenged by Thai politics which cast the image of the Isan people as lower social status. However, the richness of Isan expression through Isan language, music, and cultures has always flourished. The research project “Embodied Isan Tone” aims to explore Isan language, Isan identity, and Isan persona that were embodied by young Isan actors and performers working in the three performance-making formats: text-based theatre, a devised performance, and a performance of the self. Through an intracultural perspective of acting, the project intends to inject an Isan-ness into contemporary theatre making and performance practice in Thailand, and to celebrate and raise awareness of contemporary Isan. The research method involves observing, interviewing, conducting group discussion with Isan actors in the creative process. As Isan contemporary performances, the three works, Bhai (Bus Stop), Home Heuan Hao (Our Home), and Bheen (Evert), revealed that Isan language provides a remarkable sound expression, fixed impressions of Isan identity are met with resistance, and Isan persona deeply connects with Isan community. This project has unraveled personal, political, and cultural tensions among Isan actors yet embraced them as creative resources for intracultural acting.","PeriodicalId":42841,"journal":{"name":"ASIAN THEATRE JOURNAL","volume":"9 1","pages":"185 - 203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79085791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
