This winter, Carleton College offers Visualizing Japanese Theater, an interdisciplinary celebration of Japanese traditions in drama, dance, and visual art.

Visualizing Japanese Theater comprises a set of innovative collaborations, based on partnerships between academic departments, and between Carleton College and Twin Cities arts organizations. This winter festival provides the campus and regional communities with myriad opportunities to engage and create with distinguished international artists. Most events are free and open to the public.
