This program is of special interest not only to drama teachers but to teachers of social sciences, cultural studies and languages. The best of Professor David George's private and unique collection of slides on Asian theatre is now, for the first time, available on video. Accompanied by a commentary, which places the major forms of both Asian classical and folk theatre in their cultural context, this video introduces Asian theatre through the roles it plays in the lives of Asian people and its special relationships to young people. David George has interviewed dancers, actors, musicians, shamans, priests, scholars, mask-makers, choreographers and taken detailed pictures of what he has learned.
