Jemma Kahn to Lead Kamishibai Storytelling Workshops for ASSITEJ SA & Theatre Arts Admin Collective
by BWW News Desk - September 08, 2013
Jemma Kahn's THE EPICENE BUTCHER AND OTHER STORIES has taken South Africa, and the world, by storm. During the recent run of the show at the National Arts Festival, BroadwayWorld South Africa described the show as 'moving and hysterical, and never less than completely absorbing.' What is it about this traditional Japanese form of illustrated storytelling which is so powerful in its simplicity? Kamishibai is ideally suited as a form of performance for the many festivals that are springing up in community spaces, as the illustrations can be created to be used by multi-lingual storytellers, who can adapt their stories to their audiences. The performances are low-budget, but highly effective and impactful.
