[LM_NET] HIT: SHARE Japan Society (NYC) Event for Educators

[Ann Marie Grumm <amgrumm2@AOL.COM>]

 Below are details about a workshop in New York City that will introduce you to the 
Japanese form of puppetry known as Bunraku.
 
 Please note: I don't work for this organization and I will not receive any benefit 
by mentioning it to you.
 
 
 The Japanese Society is located near the United Nations Building. The workshops 
are incredibly reasonable (price), and much worth your time and energy. You will 
spend the first part of the day learning about the art form and after lunch (that 
is provided) you will actually observe a performance.
 
 If you are interested in Japanese culture or wish to learn the language, this 
organization has so much more to offer. See their website. 
 
 There is another Society in San Antonio and I suspect there are in many cities 
throughout the country.

Victoria Moller Bio for J. Martin Holman J. Martin Holman lived for nearly ten 
years in Japan, where he taught Japanese literature at Wakayama University and 
served as resident director of the Japan Center for Michigan Universities in the 
city of Hikone in Shiga Prefecture and the Associated Kyoto Program Center (AKP) at 
Doshisha University in Kyoto. He has also led study programs for American college 
and university students in Japan, in which the participants study Japanese 
language, culture, and theater, with a particular emphasis on the traditional 
puppet theater. My activities also include directing and performing in the 
traditional Japanese puppet theater. I was the first non-Japanese to train and 
perform as a puppeteer in the traditional puppet theater in Japan, and I now direct 
the Bunraku Bay Puppet Troupe, which consists largely of alumni of my programs in 
Japan. Bunraku Bay has performed traditional Japanese puppetry at venues across the 
United States and Japan, including the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and 
the Iida Puppetry Festival in Nagano.   Victoria Moller Education Associate Japan
