Noh Theatre

Here are two videos that explain Noh performance and tradition (in English).


This video a more detailed, yet longer piece about Noh. The source, NHK, again is the Public Broadcasting Channel in Japan. The TV station has a strong international reputation for doing quality research, which is both accurate and reliable.  By interviewing actors and producers, they are able to access some primary sources regarding the performance.


As a source, it comes produced from an expat who creates his own YouTube videos called "How to Japan". While he has a reputation for researching Japanese subjects in depth, he personally is not an expert and does not cite his sources, which makes his work less reliable.
