Noh Society invites beginners to join “Experience the Voice of Noh: UTAI”, a 5-part workshop series. You will experience utai—the vocal expression of Noh - through breath, voice, and Noh movement. 
No prior experience is needed.

In our third session, we’ll explore Takasago, a masterpiece of Noh about pine trees that celebrates harmony, peace, and eternity, and Hagoromo, a graceful tale of celestial maiden. You will learn to ground your body, breathe deeply from the core, awaken your senses, and explore the unique vocal power of utai. 

Participants will also center their body and experience Noh dance Yuya.

Instruction will be in Japanese & English.
 
The workshop will be held in a serene Zen temple in Manhattan—a perfect setting to reconnect with yourself, clear your mind, and awaken your awareness through the power of voice. 
Expect a meditative, energizing experience that engages your whole body.

Join us!
