Amy asks Poulton to explain the difference between reading Noh plays and seeing a Noh performance. Poulton goes into great detail on the subject, including why and how the same Noh play covered in a few pages of text becomes a one-and-a-half hour play when performed. He quotes from Arthur Waley's The Noh Plays of Japan to explain the concept of length and time.

He further introduces Kan'ami and Zeami, father and son, who elevated the art of Noh to what it has become and discusses the Tokugawa Shogunate's influence on Noh and gagaku (court music). Poulton notes that the flute, drum, and howling in Noh are designed to help take the audience into a different time and space. This is especially important to plays that focus on stories of ghosts, demons, and natural spirits (such as those of trees and plants).

Noh performances are known for their ability to induce drowsiness and even sleep among the audience. Poulton explains how this induced hypnotic state can effectively transport the audience to a liminal awareness between reality and dreams.

"There is a transcendental boredom to Noh. We have to slow down our consciousnesses to get into the space of the performance. Time and space expand into infinity and eternity and this is how we can contact those things." —Cody Poulton

Next Poulton expands on the structure of Noh plays and the use of dreams as devices in two well-known performances: "Hagoromo," an encounter of a human being and a supernatural creature, and "Yamamba" the mountain crone (See BOA Podcast 14: Yamamba: Japanese Mountain Witch with Rebecca Copeland and Linda Erlich). He explains the role of Noh masks and costumes. He further comments on "Funabenke" a demon play.

Amy mentions "Takasago" and its continued reference in modern-day Japan.  Poulton responds that Noh often has a liturgical purpose, a way of blessing or commemorating an event similar to a requiem, and gives three modern examples of Japanese tragedies linked to Noh plays. He sum up his comments with:

When bad things happen, we go back to ceremony, to ritual, to try to give shape to our feelings, and Noh is a beautiful device for doing that.

Next is a discussion about the author Izumi Kyōka and how he came from a long line of Noh musicians and artists. Kyoka himself wrote plays about the supernatural and became a model of the counterculture of the 1960s in Japan. His uncle, Matsumoto Kintaro, was a famous Noh actor of the Meiji period. Poulton mentions the plays "Uta andon" and "Ama."

"Saigyozakura" (Saigyo's Cherry Tree) is a play about the poet's trip to a temple to get away from the crowds at cherry-viewing time in search of a quiet and peaceful place to view the trees. But the cherry tree he finds at the temple chastises Saigyo for being a party pooper, telling him that people partying under the blossoms are celebrating his and the other trees' beauty. Poulton uses this as an example of how flowers and trees come to life and talk back to the humans via Noh plays.

Lastly, Amy asks Poulton to recommend some books for those wanting to learn more about the Japanese performing arts:

Alex is one of those coaches that just immediately blew my mind with how well he understood movement and programming.
-
I'd seen so many coaches programming over the years that when I saw how he was handling his athletes, I knew I needed to get to know him more.
-
He's truly just on a different level as I'm sure you'll notice through this episode but even more so o the squat, bench, and deadlift tutorials we will be releasing later this month.

@andrewPFM @PrideFitnessandMovement

It's been a while but rest and renewal are necessary.
On this latest episode  we chat with UC Berkeley Production Manager Jamila Cobham  on the role of theatre  and the value of the arts in telling our stories. We talk  theatre and the arts in Barbados and the region, the role of women and the future and sustainability of theatre.

Méconnu et pourtant décrit depuis 1981 ...

Aujourd'hui, Rebecca vient nous parler de sa vie, son enfant atteint de ce syndrôme.

This week, we're looking at the legacy of Chikamatsu Monzaemon, the most famous playwright in Japanese history. During his career, which spanned the zenith of Japan's Edo period, he produced some 130 plays and was enormously influential in terms of his approach to drama. How did he do it, and what is his legacy for Japan today?

Show notes here.

Ghost Month continues with Japan's Halloween known as the Obon Festival. Learn of Obon traditions, how Obon is celebrated in Hawaii, some of Kamuela's heritage, and a Pokemon dance. Then hear about Japan's most famous ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan.

Martin is joined by master poster designer and dilm enthusiast Tony Stella to discuss Kon Ichikawa 1963 film, Revenge of a Kabuki Actor. They cover the film's unexpectedly pulp serial roots, talk about unlikely heroes and archetypical villains, and look at how the film fits into Kon Ichikawa's long and varied career.

Grant and Heavey are joined by Brandon Senn and Brady Cable from Kabuki Strength in Portland, Oregon. They're in the business of teaching people how to create tension and to ultimately move their bodies better against resistance. This skill is applicable to virtually every single sport.

SHOW NOTES

Brenan Ghassemieh was introduced to me by a good friend, Dr. Cody Dimak (Session 31), as the perfect guy to speak about training responsibility around injuries. Since we’ve been focusing on hamstring injuries, we kept that as a central focus BUT it’s important to realize the body works as ONE UNIT and we can’t separate regions in training and rehab. You’ll hear this concept of centrality throughout the entire podcast.

A few major points/ concepts we come back to are:

• Hamstring tightness vs the “feeling of tightness”
• Exercises to train the hamstring that are safe
• If you’re feeling a hamstring “grab” during exercises then it’s not normal
• Training of the hamstring centers around posture, compound lifts and eccentrics
• Hamstring tightness is not always bad
• Assessment of an individual starts with observation!

Videos Correlated:

Everything can be found in this single video

Assessments movements to watch:

• SRDL
• Goblet Squat
• Lateral Squat
• Lateral Wedge

Warm-ups or Movement Prep:

• Lateral Band Crab Walks
• Lateral Squat (just record once)
• Rotational Squat
• Side Bridge
• Pallof Press
• Anti-Cops
• Rotational Chops
• Curtsy Lunges
• Transverse Lunges

If you’re a clinician this is the perfect podcast session to share with that patient who’s been asking questions about what they can/can’t do in the gym with a hamstring strain.

If you’re a patient/athlete you need to be examined first and properly diagnosed with the CORRECT condition before you rehab. Movement is everything and often times you need to be cued properly by a professional.

This week, I'll be talking about the life of the average city-dweller in the Edo Period. This is a very wide-ranging episode, covering everything from the schools in which young samurai were trained to the kabuki-based prostitution which those same young samurai were absolutely forbidden to patronize (not that it stopped them).

I have to say, of all the episodes I've finished up to this point, I've enjoyed writing this one the most. I hope you guys like it too!
