SUMMARY:The Life and Work of Noh Actor Akira Matsui (interviewed by Margaret Coldiron)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Akira Matsui is a master actor-teacher of the Kita School of Japanese classical noh theatre. Matsui was born in 1946 and began studying noh at the age of seven. He showed such talent that\, at age 12\, he became a “live-in apprentice” to Kita Minoru\, the 15th generation of noh masters of the Kita School (one of the five guilds of shite main role actors). From his firm foundation in tradition\, Matsui has experimented in intercultural fusions. He has acted in productions of plays by Shakespeare\, W.B. Yeats\, and Beckett\, and has written plays based on Rashoman and Hoichi. Together with American noh composer-performer Richard Emmert\, he has created a series of English Noh including St. Francis\, At the Hawk’s Well\, and Eliza. In addition\, he has choreographed noh-style dances to jazz ballads and to poetry by T.S. Eliot. In 1998\, he was designated an Important Intangible Cultural Asset by the Japanese government. In 2016\, Matsui was awarded an honorary doctorate by Royal Holloway\, University of London\, in recognition of his status as a Noh master and for his long record of achievement in bringing Noh to new international audiences. Join noh scholar Margaret Coldiron as Matsui reflects on his life\, his achievements\, and his belief that noh has much to offer contemporary international performance. \nDr Margaret Coldiron is a theatre director\, performer\, teacher and a specialist in Asian performance and masks. She is the author of Trance and Transformation of the Masked Actor in Japanese Noh and Balinese Dance Drama (Mellen Press 2004) and has published widely on masks\, Asian and intercultural performance and actor training. \nPart of the Nogaku education and outreach programme.

He learned traditional wood carving of Buddhist and Shinto statuary from his father\, Kitazawa Ikkyo\, and later studied noh mask carving. He currently produces classical noh and kyogen masks and has been designated a master craftsman by the Tokyo Metropolitan government. Kitazawa has also created numerous shinsaku “new” masks for foreign language noh productions\, notably those of Theatre Nohgaku\, as well as for other noh influenced plays.

SUMMARY:Bayly Prize 2023 prizegiving ceremony
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Dr. Thomas Barrett has been awarded the Bayly Prize. The finalists included Dr.Mariano Errichiello\, Dr. Kelsey Granger and Dr. Yui Lo. \n  \n \nDr. Thomas P. Barrett is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Faculty of Asian and Middle East Studies and a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College\, Cambridge\, who specialises in the international and diplomatic history of pre-modern and modern East Asia. Prior to taking up his current post at Cambridge\, Thomas was trained in the Japanese Sinological tradition\, completing his BA at Aichi University (the successor to the Shanghai-based Tōa Dōbun Shoin) and his MA at the University of Tokyo. In 2016\, he began his PhD at the University of Tokyo as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science DC Research Fellow. In 2019\, he moved to the University of Oxford\, where he completed his doctoral project under the supervision of Professor Henrietta Harrison. \n  \nThomas’ current book project explores the development of the professional Chinese diplomat through the lens of the foreign presence who worked in Qing and Republican China’s legations and consulates. Portions of the project have hitherto been published as articles in Japanese in Shigaku Zasshi and Tōyō Gakuhō\, and also as a chapter in a French-language volume published with the École française d’Extrême-Orient. Thomas’ Shigaku Zasshi article was recently awarded the 10th Historical Society of Japan Prize\, which was established in 2014 to celebrate the work of scholars under the age of 40 who have made a critical contribution to historiography in the Japanese language. \n  \n \nDr.Mariano Errichiello is the Shapoorji Pallonji Lecturer of Zoroastrianism\, Co-Chair and Executive Director of the Shapoorji Pallonji Institute of Zoroastrian Studies at SOAS University of London\, where he earned his PhD in 2022. Mariano has presented his research on Zoroastrian social history\, esotericism and ritual performance in international conferences in Asia\, Europe\, and the US earning two Honourable mentions by the Ancient India & Iran Trust (AIIT) and the inaugural Early Career Prize by the Association for the Study of Persianate Societies and the Journal of Persianate Studies. Prior to his current appointment\, Mariano has been a Resident Fellow of the Centre for Comparative Studies of Civilisations and Spiritualities at Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice\, a Research Fellow of the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies at the University of Copenhagen\, and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany. \n  \n \nSince receiving her doctorate from the University of Cambridge in 2022\, Dr. Kelsey Granger has been an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow affiliated with Ludwig-Maximilian University\, Munich. Working with Prof. Armin Selbitschka\, her current research focuses on first-century BC excavated records of postal horses housed at the Xuanquan relay station\, located on the fringes of China’s Han empire. As she is particularly interested in intersections between animal\, gender\, and commodities histories\, she hopes to expand her doctoral research on the exoticised and highly-feminised practice of lapdog-keeping in medieval China by exploring the stark commercialisation of pet-keeping in Song China. Related canine research has been published in the Bulletin of SOAS and the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society\, for which she received the 2023 Sir George Staunton Prize. \n  \n \nDr. Yui Lo is Lecturer in Modern Chinese and East Asian History at the University of Oxford\, where he teaches Chinese and global history. He is currently revising his doctoral thesis in preparation for its publication.  To this end\, he will conduct additional archival research in summer 2024.
