First UK Kabuki performance of 'Sumire'

Wimbledon was delighted to welcome Fukusuke Nakamura, Kabuki grand-master to the College recently for the first UK performance of ‘Sumire’. In an ‘east meets west’ colloboration about the life of Chopin and his connections with Japanese culture, actors, musicians and designers held workshops for our students in  Japanese Kabuki dance, makeup, music and costumes. With performers from East 15 Acting School, and Wimbledon’s Design for Performance,  and Costume Design students supporting this production, a wonderful Kabuki piece was performed to students and an invited audience.
