 Welcome
- Chapter One: Introduction
The reasons for choosing the project, my interest in Japanese Noh theatre and the inspiration for a study of Yeats' At the Hawks Well. Statement of how I went about research, e.g. visits to both Japan and USA to perform and research techniques and performance practices.
- Chapter Two: The History of Noh
A summary of the key elements that make up this theatrical form, the origins of Noh theatre and its move towards fusion with other cultural theatres.
- Chapter Three: A Textual Comparison
An examination of the processes undertaken by Richard Emmert in his adaptation of Yeats' play. Focusing on the elements that enable this adaptation to be categorised as Noh-like.
- Chapter Four: Performance Characteristics
An examination of Richard Emmert's adaptation in performance, looking at the changes that categorise the play from Yeats' original to a Noh-like adaptation. Using as a comparison a video of a production according to Yeats' directions.
- Chapter Five: Conclusion
An analysis of my findings, commenting on the movement towards a possible fusion of Noh in English. Looking at how far this traditional art form has been used to inform western performances and comment on the possibilities for the future.
