ANU Kabuki campus performances
Dear Kabukians and their friends,
Big big thanks for those members of who participated in our short performance at Harmony Day(1st May), Toads Hall Multicultural Festival (8th May)and B&G multicultural Ball(14th May)during last two weeks. It means a lot to us. Hope you had fun!
At the Harmony Day performance, there were more than 200 people attended the event in the Union Court! Although we were the first one to perform on that day and most of our members were first time taking part in Kabuki stage performance, the effort everyone of us putted in worked out to make the audiences laugh. It was difficult to reach out voice so loud in the outside area without microphone help besides, it was very windy day and people were busy eating and chatting.
However I believe people there loved our sweet appearances and manly voices of our kabuki girls. In 10mins we squeezed the essences of Kabuki into it, Love, Hate, Suicidal,Humour,Pleasuer quarter scene,Fighting scene and so on.
We managed to sell a lot of raffle tickets as well as drinks. Our beautiful Kabuki girls and actors went around Union Court to advertise ANU Kabuki and get support from the audiences.
Toads Hall Multicultural Festival was our next step for Kabuki campus invasion.
The audience was great and very cheerful and the atmosphere was just so friendly!
ANU ZA Kabuki loved Toads Hall audiences!!Thanks for the support!
Throughout the performance the laughter and cheer did not stop and the audiences participated in our performance. The interaction between actors,actress and the audience was very nice.
On Friday 14th May, we made our appearance at B&G Multicultural Ball in the Union Building on Campus.Although the most of the members who participated in the short performance was new and it was first time for them to perform Kabuki, they did so well. It was a great opportunity to perform in such a special occasion.
Our next line up is the short kabuki performance at Bruce Hall "Arts Extravaganza!" this Wednesday 19th May from 8pm.
Also we'll be having school visit to Farrer Primary School this Friday 21st. It will involve a short ANU Kabuki introduction,kabuki short performance for 10mins and stage make-up and costume experience for the studnets. It will be a great opportunity for us to promote cultural exchange and interaction. Hope it will be a successful one.

Performance at Harmony Day
ANU ZA Kabuki will be performing a short Kabuki skit at the Harmony Day organized by the International Studnets Department(ISD)in Union Court at Australian National University. We are going to contribute to the Harmony Day by providing cultural experience and cultural exchange to celebrate such a great diversity on campus. Also we are taking this great opportunity for fund-raising activity through raffle ticket sale and drink sale to contribute to our funds for Performance in Japan this year.
Hope to support cultural diversity at ANU and at the same time raise awareness of ANU Za Kabuki at ANU and what we do.

We'll blow your mind!
Yes, ANU ZA Kabuki will be back on the stage bigger and better than ever!
This year in 2010 we are proud to announce that we will be performing "Ninjyo Banashi Bunshichi Mottoi-Topknot Bunshichi". It shows gallant spirit of townsfolk in Edo, and it is a play with full of humanity, tears and humour.
The story goes...the Plasterer Chobei has ruined himself by gambling and drinking. He refuses to work and finally his daughter Oshika decides to leave the house and sell herself for 50 ryo to settle the debts. At the pleasure quarter where his daughter is going to be sold, madam Okoma sympathizes with the dutiful daughter and offers Chobei a loan on condition that he quits drinking and gambling. However on his way home...
If you want to know more then please come and join us for the performance.
We'll be performing on 3rd and 4th September 2010 at Street Theater. For further detail please refer to our website: http://sites.google.com/site/zakabuki2010/
You will regret if you miss out on the performance! . I guarantee it will be something that you never seen and never expected on the stage. As our annual audience would know we are different from authentic Japanese Kabuki production groups, we are inspired by them and we value their incredible use of various stage to depict scenery and their interaction with audiences. However we add some contemporary aspects into our production to make sure that all the audiences with different background can enjoy our performance. The play will be performed in a combination of Japanese and English, and we put jokes to add sense of Australian humour into the play. Last but not least the highlight of our production is the incredible dance!I will keep quiet about this, it is a little secret so you need to come and find out how it is done.

ANU ZA Kabuki plans to go and perform in Japan!
We are excited to announce that this year 2010 ANU ZA Kabuki is planning a trip to Japan! Not just a ordinally tourist trip to go for sightseeing but to go and perform there! which is very exciting. Incredible thing does not just happen as we wish we got to make an effort into it. Our Japan trip is a big project and we are trying our best to make it happen!
It is not the first time for ANU Za Kabuki to make an appearance in Japan, in fact our legendary members made it happen 10 years ago. They performed in Nara and Kobe. And the group of students from Ko-nan University in Kobe returned a favor by visiting ANU and performing their Kabuki play here. We would like to continue the tradition of promoting cultural exchange and interaction between Australia and Japan.
Since it is Nara's 1300th years celebration since the transfer of the capital, it would be a great opportunity for us to go an perform in Nara to promote the sister-city relationship between Nara and Canberra for this special occasion.
At the moment we are putting a lot of effort into fund-raising activities. One of the major fund-raising include selling chocolates on campus, public office and to families of members who are very supportive for us (or perhaps just craving for sugar treat :) ). Also the activities include getting sponsorship for raffle ticket selling. We have been seeking sponsorship for the raffle vouchers from local food firms such as Japanese restaurants, cinema and cafes. Furthermore we are planning on school visits to primary and secondary schools to promote cultural interaction through short Kabuki performance and stage make-up and Japanese traditional costume experiences.
Moreover our sponsorship team has been working hard to approach Japan-related firms and institutions, as well as airlines to seek for support for the Japan trip.
And our amazing actors have been very enthusiastic about Kabuki performance ahead and have been practicing very difficult Japanese Kabuki script.It is a significant fact since most of our member is consisted of non-Japanese students who study Japanese and some of them do not even study Japanese.
My wish as an assistant Producer is that every member enjoy the company of each other, and break the barrier of language to perform together as a team. And hopefully they can refresh themselves from university workloads and experience some cultural aspect rather than just learning about Japanese Language.
Again I would like to mention that we are dedicated members to not just promote cultural exchange at ANU but also at Canberra community, and this year it will possibly be even larger scale.
