This year\u2019s performance consists of three categories: 1) Kimono show, 2) traditional Japanese dances, and 3) Japanese folk performing arts (from three regions). During the kimono show, five major kimono types will be shown with different craftsmanship with live models. The details of handcrafted fabric weaving, coloring, and decorating techniques will be explained, so when the audiences actually see the real kimono display, it can promote better learning experiences. After the kimono show, five pieces of traditional Japanese dance will be shown as the second section. The first piece is titled as the &#8220;Duet,&#8221; which is a rare parallel performance of Japanese traditional dance and Western ballet. The piece will display the differences between the two dance movements and the body uses by the dancers, so the audiences will be able to see the unique characteristics of Japanese dance much easier. The body use will be explained in the context of the cultural characteristics as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9706\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jetaany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/14-\u00a9-Studio-Ghibli-NDDTM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9706\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9706\" src=\"http:\/\/jetaany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/14-\u00a9-Studio-Ghibli-NDDTM-300x162.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Studio Ghibli &#8211; NDDTM<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Oct<\/strong><strong>. 29-<\/strong><strong>Nov<\/strong><strong>. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fathomevents.com\/events\/studio-ghibli-fest-spirited-away\">Spirited Away<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Various<\/strong> <strong>locations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>$12.50-$13.50<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hayao Miyazaki\u2019s Academy Award-winning masterpiece <em>Spirited<\/em> <em>Away<\/em> was the biggest box office hit of all time in Japan and helped redefine the possibilities of animation for American audiences and a generation of new filmmakers.\u00a0Chihiro thinks she is on another boring trip with her parents.
