- Abstract:
- This project uses interactive multimedia web technologies to explore and illustrate how Japanese Noh theater derives much of its expressive power from intermedia: drawing on relations between literature, music, and staging for cumulative impact. The project site builds a multi-scale “thick” analysis around two exemplary and contrasting Noh plays. The levels of analysis presented on the site range from high-level essays to mid-scale catalogs of media components (dramatic forms, modes of speech and singing, melodic and rhythmic patterns, movement, other aspects of stagecraft) to an innovative annotated video playback environment in which verbal, musical, and theatrical elements are visualized on a score that is synchronized to the video at sub-second granularity. The finished site engages with the tension between facilitating in-depth annotation and exploration of a single genre and providing a general-use digital platform for performing arts analysis.
