32nd New York Season Concert
Saturday September 18, 2004, 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Japanese Classical, Contemporary, and Okinawan Dance.
Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the inception of the relations between the United States and Japan, Sachiyo Ito and Company will present a concert of the 32nd New York season. Featured will be a rare performance of the kabuki dance drama Onatsu Kyoran (Onatsu, the Insane), with guest artist from Japan, Shogo Fujima; and two Okinawan dances accompanied by the New York Okinawa Sanshin Club: Chibari Daiko and Chondara.
Onatsu Kyoran is one of several epochal dance dramas that were created in the new era fostered by the opening of Japan in 1868, whose impetus was initiated by the Treaty of Friendship between the USA and Japan in 1854. The program will also include Night Pond, choreographed by Ito to Shakuhachi music composed by Geoffrey Lependorf; and Morning Song, a premiere, choreographed by Mr. Fujima to contemporary koto music by Tadao Sawai — both accompanied live.

Salon Series No. 18 Aesthetics of Insanity in the Greek Drama and Japanese Theater
Sunday March 28, 2004, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Special Guest: Prof. John Chioles, New York University
Salon Series No.18 will present Aesthetics of Insanity in the Greek Drama and Japanese Theater, which will explore its underlying meaning of insanity in the theater traditions by comparing that of Japanese theater with the Greek drama. The presentation will focus on the Japanese dance and drama genre called Kyoran-mono (Insanity dances and plays). Onatsu Kyoran, to be the featured work in the September concert, is one of most popular examples. Prof. Chioles will discuss about Greek dramas such works as Medea with specific reference to the subject. Dr. Ito will perform a selection from Onatsu Kyoran to illustrate her remarks.
John Chioles is a theater director, whose work ISMENE was seen recently at the State Theater in Greece. He teaches Comparative Literature and Drama at New York University, and is also a writer; his more recent book is Aeschylus: Mythic Theatre, Political Voice.
