Eat the Kimono is a brilliant documentary about Hanayagi Genshu, a Japanese feminist and avant-garde dancer and performer, who has spent her life defying her conservative culture's contempt for independence and unconventionality.


Guest Speaker: Dr Nobuko Anan (Northumbria University). Dr Anan's main research interests are modern and contemporary Japanese theatre/performance and visual arts, and the way that they intersect with nationhood and gender/sexuality in transnational contexts.


LOUDER NOW! is brought to the Star and Shadow with support from The Gender Research Group at Newcastle University.


All LOUDER NOW! events are free to attend (although £1 membership to the Star and Shadow is required).
