Anime Expo Cinema Nights presents Cowboy Bebop: The Movie<\/em>. Caught up in a world of dreams, lost in the cruelty of reality. What should have been an easy bounty turns into biological war after a terrorist gets hold of a deadly virus. Drawn in by the pretty price on the mastermind’s head, Spike and the Bebop crew are ready to collect a much-needed reward. Unfortunately, the gang’s about to find themselves in more trouble than money when the terrorist threatens to unleash the virus on Halloween–effectively killing everyone on Mars. With little time and leads that seem more dreamy than helpful, they’ll have to use their own bag of tricks to stop a dangerous plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nihon Buyo in the 21st Century: From Kabuki Dance to Bol\u00e9ro<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan Society<\/strong><\/a>, 333 East 47th Street<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

$55, $44 members\/persons with disabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witness a breathtaking union of Japan\u2019s most talented nihon buyo dancers, featuring the esteemed Hanayagi Motoi and rising young star Azuma Tokuyo (also known as Nakamura Kazutaro in kabuki theater). Nihon buyo, literally meaning \u201cJapanese dance,\u201d encompasses an animated style that draws from traditional kabuki dance techniques. The program begins with Toba-e, a kabuki dance accompanied by live music, which depicts a comical manga story from the Edo period. The second half of the program is a piece set to Maurice Ravel\u2019s famous score, Bol\u00e9ro. Expertly choreographed by Hanayagi Genkuro, this unexpected combination of East and West brilliantly retells a classical Japanese folk tale, with Kazutaro showcasing his exceptional talent in the onnagata (female) role of the heartbroken princess, Kiyohime. The Jan. 24 performance will be followed by private gathering for artists and members. The Jan. 25 performance will be followed by an artist Q&A. A pre-performance lecture, led by California State University, San Bernardino Dr. Kirk Kanesaka, begins at 6:30 pm. Performed in Japanese with English supertitles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
