[COP3]Analysing traditional dance-kabuki


no jumping or extreme large movement, stay on ground. hand gesture, twisting body and lending show sadness, chins up and realatively fast pace movement show excitement. hiding face show embarrssed. I particualy like the way he act as the heron to blast away the snow on hisbody, the movement is decalitely designed and could both show the quality of the animal but at the same time the beauty of a female character. this must be achieved by close look at the nature and obversving it.


using not just body language, but costumes and props. selves can be pillow can be sake bottle. 


An Onnagata's apprenticeship typically begins with instruction in walking. He practices with a sheet of paper between his knees, feet slightly pigeon-toed, elbows at the hips, fingers close together, body swaying slightly from side to side; if the sheet of paper slips to the floor, he knows he has not yet learned how to walk like an Onnagata.
