A classical Japanese musical drama started in the 14th century, Noh Theatre was adapted by Irish poet and playwright William B. Yeats for Ireland's National Theatre movement at the turn of the 20th century.
Preston, who studied Noh in Japan, will discuss how Noh performance technique led her to reconsider her own assumptions about teaching, learning and national identity.
The event is part of BU's Arts, Culture, and Ideas series, which gives alumni a chance to dicuss topics with faculty members. It is sponsored by the BU Alumni Association and the BU Humanities Foundation.
