Japanese drama form
relies on indirectness
By Marlin |ohnco*
Emerald Contributor
Th« Noh play, a form of Japa
ni si' drama dating track to the
14th conlury. is a symbolic,, the
ater form relying on indirect
ness. suggestion, simplicity
and restraint Through muffled
word and stylized movement,
the Noil play suggests unspo
ken. indefinable realities and
the intersections of life and
fate, love and death
Until recently, the Noh ii.id
Us nine almost exclusively a
court entertainment, an esoter
ic.. rarefied ritual understand
able only to the initiated lint
in the 11150s. renowned writer
Yukio Mishima revived the
Noh with modern, urban set
tings Mishima preserved the
eerie, haunting mood of the
classical Noh while his charac
ters and situations maintain the
directness of an encounter on
tiie city street
University Theatre's Second
Season will open with two of
Mishima's more accessible Noh
dramas. "Sotoba Komachi"
and "The Damask Drum." on
Slav 24 in Villurd Hall's Arena
Theatre
"Mishima has adapted the
form and structure of tradition
al Noh plays and plai ed them
in contemporary situations,
thus updating them for modern
audiences " said director John
Sc hntor. a master's degree can
didate in theater arts
Original Noh plavs were rig
idly stylized and produced
with elaborate costumes,
masks dances and music The
ai tors themselves did not
speak, and an accompanying
i horns provided the dialogue.
Every movement carried in
tense meaning and was often
acc ompanied by a sustained
rest A hand slowly lifted to the
face denoted weeping: a stamp
of the foot might mean a ghost
had disappeared
Such restrained dialogue and
ahstrai t movements wore in
tended to suggest the indefin
able. limitless world beyond
them lint ait audience unfamil
iar with the form could have a
difficult time understanding
the subtle techniques in an
original Noh drama
Holli Mishima and Schmor
seek to maintain the uni anny.
symbolii quality of the original
Noh. but wish to present the
plays so that even the uninitiat
ed can feel their powerful emo
tional overtones.
"Mistlima's intention was to
bring the philosophical heart of
the Noh to a modern a,udieni e
through what we call realism."
Schmor said "His characters,
for example, are immediately
recognizable, and they don't
speak in poetic meter. In keep
ing with this, i don’t want to
move our production toward
overt theatricalise! such as
masks, gymnastics, loud colors
and loud noises We do. how
ever. want to isolate and inten
sify key images and themes of
the Noh in our production
themes th.it correspond to the
Japanese and Noh aesthetic
"The governing metaphor of
our production will he inter

come one and then pass on."
Schmor said. "Both plays are

Gainer helps gospel
garner fans, respect
By Sigrid Wright
Emerald Contributor
When |nhn Gainer startl'd
teaching at the University si\
years ago. it took almost a
month to ns ruit 21 students to
fill his unofficial Gospel Kn
semhle Besides that. Gainer
struggled for funding and prai
tire rooms
Hut. as the old spirituals as
sure, "trouble don't last al
ways '
At the ensemble's winter
term concert in March, the Uni
versity s a M) scat Heal I Concert
('..liner agrees
American imisu is now .1
valid form of study.'' he said
Gainer points to a new twist in
the Gospel Workshop of Amen
1.1. an annual national meeting
of performers choir directors,
ministers and recording artists
!.atel\ the group's leaders have
been encouraging me miters to
document their musii

-John Gainer
Iliil! was filled and then some,
with the audience spilling into
the foyer Gainer's biggest
problem this year has been
turning av\u\ more than 100
students who would like to
sing with him in his novv-ai
i redited ( lass
It could he a sign ol growing
interest in gospel music, the
soft-spoken minister said in
characteristic understatement
Unlike main smaller West
Coast universities, the Univcr
sit\ is leaning more toward
American music studies Gain
er's ensemble i' part of the new
emphasis And this spring in
an effort to provide background
on the origins of gospel musii
he has added an upper dn ision
survey course called "The To
tal (iospel Experience
Until recently, adding such
programs wasn't so easy Ed
win Coleman, director of the
Folklore and Ethnic Studies
Program and a jazz and blues
musician who lectures state
wide about spirituals and the
blues, attributes some ol the
change to new music school
leadership espec ially a new
dean. Bernard Dobroski. who
took over in the fall of l'ltiti
"We can't limit ourselves to
romantii images of European
classical musii.'' Dobroski
said "We have to emphasize
good music Gospel is one
thread in the fabric of a musii
si bool
pel li.nl no place in formal edu
cat ion
Now, however .1 new kind nf
gospel mush i.m is emerging
shaped In the classroom For
mal tear hing gives gospel a
new kind ol status lull that has
its down side too
"Some people ran deal with
gospel musii academically
Gainer saiil Hut I tell my stu
dents to reniemlier that gospel
musii is spontaneous It lie
comes whitewashed when it's
interpreted l>v standards
Gainer helps Ins students to
perform with feeling by insist
mg the\ learn In listening to
tapes lather than In reading
music The effort, Dobroski
said, is that more people major
ing in areas other than musii
are involved in the gospel pro
gram
"We have men and women
in the ensemble who i an t read
a note of musii I !nlil now, vve
would have excluded them
from music performance
Not only do ensemble mem
Imts learn something nf musit
without having to read it. they
learn about blai k > ulture. Gain
er saiil When the 1 hoir is more
than ‘HI pert ent while, that's <1 ■ 1

But no matter who the sing
