• 2026
• Music
• Taiwan to Japan

To study Japanese traditional music in Tokyo, focusing on Noh and supplemented by Kabuki Nagauta. The main focus of Yang’s three-month fellowship to Japan is Noh. He will study individually with Noh masters and integrate himself in groups studying traditional music, such as amateur ensembles like Tesarugaku no Kai and university Noh clubs. Yang will also explore techniques to innovate Noh in other languages with the aim of creating Mandarin-scripted Noh. Through immersive engagement with local communities and intensive fieldwork, Yang aims to build networks within the Japanese music scene and lay the foundation for future cross-cultural music production collaborations and academic research.
