Kabuki Theater Kabuki is a Japanese
dance and drama play involving elaborate costumes, eye-catching makeup, and outrageous wigs to convey the audience.
Known as “the art of singing and dancing”

History Created around the year 1600 by
a woman named Okuni who preformed alone on riverbanks. Then her audience grew rapidly.
Still preformed today, Kabuki continues to be a form of entertainment enjoyed by many.

Anatomy of Kabuki Kabuki theaters relied on the
stages, plots, and music. Music was used to set the mood
of the play and it also helped emphasize important points in the plays.
The actors were trained to take their cues not from a stage director but from the music so listening to the music allowed them know when it was their turn to take the stage.

Concepts Sergei Eisenstein
discusses how Kabuki is related to cinema through the usage of conveying emotions.
Although this elaborate art dose not use dialogue, they do have elaborate makeup which explains their emotions during the play as well as their singing performance.
