We've just learned this morning that this evening's presentation by Dr. William
Farrell is canceled. Dr. Farrell is snowed in; no flights are leaving New England.
We're sorry to learn of the cancellation. If and when the event is rescheduled,
we'll let you know.
Stay warm!

Kabuki - Japan´s Outrageous Dramatic Tradition
An Illustrated Presentation by Helen Rindsberg
Kabuki began as a riverside variety show in the early 1600s and grew into THE pop
culture phenomenon of the 1800s.
Its outrageous actors became the rock stars of Edo Era Japan complete with rabid fan
clubs. Their fame was spread near and far by woodblock prints of exciting bold
design that Ms. Rindsberg will use to illustrate her talk.

From the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry and the Black Ships in 1853 to the
historic election of America's first African-American president, Japan and the US
have looked at each other through stereotypical lenses. If cultural misconceptions
were commodities, each nation would have run a surplus.
Using woodblock prints, postcards (the internet of the 1890s) and political
cartoons, Dr. Farrell takes us on a lively tour through history, viewing events such
as Perry's arrival, the Road to Peral Harbor, World War II, the Occupation, trade
wars and the current international situation. Cultural observations that influenced
domestic and international policy in the past remain with us today, so now is a good
time to journey back and place today's actions in perspective.
