Performing Arts
From age-old legends to overnight sensations, and from intrinsically Japanese motifs to the latest trends, our Fall 2011/Spring 2012 Performing Arts Season takes new leaps and bounds with its wider-than-ever scope of offerings. Presenting the gamut of performing arts straight from Japan (plus some very familiar names from New York), this season includes poignant, unexpected and zany contemporary theater, the freshest and newest sounds in pop and experimental music, beautifully introspective contemporary dance, elegantly refined traditional dance and much, much more.
