Increasingly a showcase art with new kinds of audiences \u2013 less intimately or frequently connected to the experience of kabuki performance and the conventions of the art \u2013 a need arose for explanations that could increase familiarity and thereby facilitate enjoyment and repeat attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Discussions and analyses of kabuki are not, however, a new phenomenon of the modern period. Kabuki-related material fed the publishing industry during much of the Edo Period, supporting fan interest and contributing to financially-successful productions. In this talk, I will examine ways in which kabuki has been presented at different times in its history, with attention to content, format, the goals of the writers and readers, and the place of examination in the history of the art.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/performct\/session-one\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBack to Session Page\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explaining Kabuki: Yesterday and Today Katherine Saltzman-Li,\u00a0University of California, Santa Barbara Contemporary Tradition \u2013 Japanese Performance Genre Today:\u00a0Session One Katherine Saltzman-Li: Explaining Kabuki: Yesterday and Today Katherine Saltzman-Li is Associate Professor at University of California, Santa Barbara.
