Music - Los Angeles
Friday,
8 pm. James Armstrong Theater in
Torrance California
Theatre
of Yugen's world theater production, Moon of the Scarlet Plums, is a Japanese Noh and Native American collaboration,
inspired by the story of the 19th century Oglala Sioux hero, Crazy Horse. The
show is directed by Yuriko Doi, composed by Richard Emmert, with songs by
Darrell Paskimin and choreography by Hanay Gieogamah of the American Indian
Dance Theater, Jane Lind and Masashi Nomura. Written by Erik Ehn with material
from John Neihardt's Cycle of the West and Black Elk Speaks,
with potent symbols and evocative performances, this production crosses

and place.
It
evokes the powerful spirit world of Japanese traditional Noh Theatre and Native
American art forms in telling the story of a young Native American who searches
for identity and spiritual vision in our contemporary times. The music and
instrumentation is based on Noh structure and is combined with Native American
singers, drums and flutes.
This
program will be co-presented by the Torrance Cultural Arts Center
Foundation and Collaboration with
Theatre of Yugen and Tiny Alice(Tokyo).

18 Ð August 15, 2005Brighter
Than Gold: The Rich Tradition of Satsuma-Ware in Japan at the Pacific
Asia Museum
This
exhibition in gallery ten will
consist of approximately forty pieces of Satsuma ware from the Edo (1603-1868) and Meiji (1868-1912) Periods. Japanese
paintings and works of art will
also accompany the exhibition, and
will highlight selected pieces on display.
Satsuma-ware
is primarily known as a Meiji
period ceramic ware produced for export from Japan, and is often characterized by highly gilded and fantastic
designs. However, the development
of Satsuma-ware has its roots in JapanÕs Momoyama Period (1574-1603) when
potters were brought back from
Korea after a series of wars with
Japan. Brighter Than Gold will trace the history of Satsuma-ware from its earliest stages and Korean
influences to its height of
production as an export ware, revealing how Satsuma-ware has become one of the most well
known Japanese ceramics in the
world.
The
Pacific Asia Museum would like to thank Drs. Jerome and Rose Saperstein and
Drs. Paul and Judy Braun for their
substantial gifts of Satsuma-ware to the museumÕs Permanent Collection, making this exhibition
possible. Funds for this
exhibition have been generously provided by Toshie and Frank Mosher, Peter Sartin and others. Brighter Than Gold is guest curated by
Christopher Engle. http://www.pacificasiamuseum.org/calendar/satsumaware.htm
