Before we set off on tour, the Workshop Performance cast worked together to make sasara<\/span> (split bamboo rods) for a traditional deer dance called Shishi Odori<\/span>, which is featured in LION<\/span>\u00a0on the upcoming tour. It took us two weeks to complete them, working between rehearsals and at night, too.<\/p>\n

Left: The finished sasara<\/span>. Right: We cut down bamboo, cut each length to size, split each rod\u00a0into whisk-like slats, and took off the nodes.<\/p>\n

Then we filed the bamboo and pasted pieces of Japanese paper on to them to complete them!<\/p>\n

We are now using these props to perform “LION,” for the first time in ages on tour! We hope everyone will enjoy it!<\/p>\n

Please come along to see one of our public performances listed below.<\/p>\n
