Eth-Noh-Tec:
Asian American Story Movement Theatre
Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo and Nancy Wang will present a workshop for
educators and members of the public.
"Tell it! Move it!: Kinetic Theater Approaches to Storytelling"
This workshop is for the person who wants a full
expressive performance using all the tools that are naturally available:
voice, body, gesture and creativity.
Learn how easy it is to embellish the "telling of a tale" with movement,
a song, a facial expression, a change in staging, in vocal
characterterization - all of which will enhance the story and your
performance for your audience. Workshop will explore new ways to expand
ones choices for vocalization, characterization, and designing the
energy of a story.
About ETH-NOH-TEC: Storytellers Nancy Wang and Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo,
co-creators of a unique style of tandem telling have termed their form
as kinetic storytelling theater. It is a seamless blend of movement,
performance narrative inspired by East and West dance theater
techniques, lyrical and percussive music with body gesture and spoken
word. Eth-Noh-Tec is the storytelling like no other storytellers.
Eth-Noh-Tec has appeared at the National Storytelling Festival at
Jonesborough,TN, Smithsonian Discovery Theater, Wolftrap Family Stage
and the Presidential Inauguration Celebration. They have appeared on
NPR's "All Things Considered", PBS Television, and recently submitted a
Moon Myth for NASA's Space Camp. They have performed on stages in
schools, libraries, festivals, universities across America and number of
international venues as well: Singapore, Japan, Germany, Austria, New
Zealand. Most recently they lead a group of American storytellers to
China to engage in storyswap with the traditional storytelling community
of Gengcun.
