Central Lakes College is thrilled to welcome renowned Japanese performer Kuniko Yamamoto for two extraordinary events on Thursday, November 7 as part of the Cultural Thursday series and the CLC Performing Arts Center.
Kuniko Yamamoto, an internationally acclaimed performer, is known for blending traditional Japanese storytelling with contemporary theatrical elements. Her captivating performances feature graceful choreography, vibrant masks featuring multiple characters, and engaging narratives that transport audiences into the rich culture and history of Japan.
At noon, Cultural Thursday—a free, monthly speaker series at CLC—will present Kuniko Yamamoto as she leads a live Japanese Tea Ceremony. This elegant ritual will be open to 50 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, with additional seating available for observation. Yamamoto will also share personal stories and insights into the significance of the Tea Ceremony in Japanese culture, offering attendees a deeply immersive experience.
Later that evening at 6 p.m., the CLC Performing Arts Center will host Kuniko Yamamoto’s performance titled “Magical Mask, Music, and Mime of Japan”.
