Miss Shimazaki is a Japanese
Kabuki dancer. The art of Kabukl
used to l>e a strange and exotic-
oriental name to most of us. In
the programs performed by
Miss Shimazaki, it becomes a
living theater, opening to us new
avenues of artistic experiences
and one which can easily be
understood by western audiences
and which can be aesthetical
ly moving.
Miss Shimazaki, with her
dance movements and jestures
can transform herself from a
female to a male character in
a manner in which the elements
of costume are used to suggest
illusions—the sleeve of her ki
mono can become a bottle from
which sake may be poured—and
the next instant can be a cup
from which a maiden may sug
gestively drink. Miss Shimazaki
can make a fan into a mirror—
she can make it into waves of the
sea, falling snow, falling leaves,
a sword, a fishing rod, or most
anything at all. She uses her
suggestive movements to stimu
late the Imagination of the au
diences to complete the beauti
ful artistic illusions. With her
control and mastery, that is
necessary in this art, It is no
wonder that the training of a
Kabuki dancer must begin when
French Film
To Be Shown
“Therese Desqueyroux,” the
last film of the spring qii'.rter,
will be shown on May 14 th 7:30
in the SCC auditorium. TAe ^ilni
is directed by Georges Franju.
The film is an austere, moody
character study, featuring Em-
manuelle Riva as a young woman
undergoing emotional suffocation
at the hands of a wealthy and
kind but hopelessly dull husband
and the bourgeois life of the pro
vincial community in which they
live. In desperation she tries to
poison her husband. The attempt
proves unsuccessful and the hus
band, instead of having her tried
and imprisoned, punishes her by
the even more crushing isolation
of the family estate,
A very faithful adaptation of
the celebrated novel by Franclos
Mauriac, “Therese Desquey
roux” represents something of a
departure in style and subject for
Georges Franju, hitherto known
for such savage films as “Blood
of the Beasts” and "Eyes With
out a Face,”
“. . .A beautiful film. . .told
with great depth and perception.
Therese is one of the most mar
velous characters in all litera
ture, and Emmanuelle Riva has
created a great performance.”
—Walter J. Carroll, The Villa
ger.
the performer is about six years
old.
Miss Shimazaki appears be
fore her audience (as she is in
real life) a person of rare gra
ciousness, charm, and warm hu
mor. Her programs are done
with such relaxed and informal
ease that it provides audiences
with a new and refreshing in
sight Into Japanese character,
culture, and art.
The petite Japanese dancer was
born InNlshlnomiya, Japan twen
ty-five years ago. In private
life Miss Shimazaki is really
Mrs. Kazumi Shimazaki. She is
married to a young man who is
one of Japan’s leading business
men.
Mr, and Mrs, Shimazaki use
their spare time teaching the
Japanese language, writing and
reading poetry. Mr. Shimazaki
is widely known for his deep,
rich, bass voice and has won
audiences all over his native land
with his many renditions of Japa
nese poetry.
Miss Shimazaki conducts indi
vidual lessons in flower ar
ranging, tea ceremony. Haiku
poetry, and classical Japanese
dancing. She is a competent ama
teur poet in her own right, and
is adapt at the art of jewelry de
signing.
Despite her youth. Miss Shi
mazaki has earned as enviable
reputation as a true exponent
of Kabukl, Japanese Folk, Mod
ern, Traditional, and Classical
Dance.
