Seattle can well be proud of MAY
TSutsumotO. modern dancer who
also possesses unique gifts in the
classical Odori and Kabuki style.
She has been studying the odori
for over ten years. and Seattle
residents can remember her many
hit performances i'm the past few
years.
On her trip back East last fall,
she had an opportunity 10 perform
in New York before the East-WeSt
Association, the group headed by
Pearl Buck She also danced before
various groups in Chicago. The re-
ception was wonderful" Miss Tsu-
tsumoto said.
She says that the odori is dying
out as a unique form of the theatre.
IT'S regrettable,' she said that
even in Japan, they are switching
to second-rate jazz
Miss Tsutsumoto began studying
modern dancing under Eleanor King
in 1916 Eleanor King is great"
she says. She has been a big in
fluence in encouraging Japanese
dancing as a great art form"
Miss TsutsumOtO Is also a mem
Der of the Cooperative Dance
Studio, where she teaches the Ka-
buki. Her most recent performance
in modern dancing was early in
November when she had the lead
role of Electra in the Greek "Or-

Kings departure.
In addition to her many activities,
she has found time to translate
Japanese works on dancing into
English. She receives a degree in
March from the University of Wa
shington where she is majoring in
anthropology. She hopes to go to
Japan for further study.

school she gave up the chance to
become president of her Y-Teens

she was a Y-Teen camp councillor

Miss Nisei has firmly established

May Tsutsumoto-have made many.
at least the Nisei, conscious of mod
ern dancing as form of the thea
tire, which is here TO stay.
The probable reason for its not
being better received. Miss Nishi-
tani says. is thai it is not the pur-
pose of the modern dance to enter
tain. but rather to say something
Many people think modern dancing
should be beautiful. but with The
world in such a turmoil, there is
nothing beautiful to say" she said
While many attend the ballet
and the symphonies. the followers
of modern dance are few in COM
parison. Then too.' she adds,
"many people go to a modern
dance concert set with the idea
of not being able to understand
it, while II Is not at all difficult
to grasp what the dancer is trying
to say"
The modern dancer is much like
the artist and the musician. Where
as the artist expresses himself with
his paintings and the musician with
his music, the modern dancer ex-
presses his feelings with movements
of the body.
1t is interesting to note that the
modern dance does not rely on
beautiful costumes, music or extern
sive stage props. but concentrates
solely on the dancer, which proves
to be extremely effective.
Miss Nishitani says she has
wanted to dance since she was six
years old when she saw ballet
dancing in a movie. However, she
began studying under Eleanor
King only few years ago.
Even with the short time she has
been studying, she has done choreo-
graphy of her own, having compile
ted three solos to date. "Credo in
Conflict" is an effective piece of
work based On Miss Nishitanis own
experiences. 1t shows her own con-
victions being fought by the pre-
sence of opposite beliefs of others.

stayed on with newfound indie

Jane is just one of the many who

though the majority are between
ten and Is years old She also teach
es Caucasians in addition to Nisei
and Sansei. Children are more
interesting to teach than adults
she says. They are not influenc-
ed as are the older students and
they are easier to mold. 1t is like
starting on a clean sheet of paper"
Above all, she maintains, the pu-
pill himself must be interested in
music so that he will improve and
develop his abilities by his own mi
tiative. She discourages those who
propose to take piano lessons only
as a favor to their mothers.

came to the YW's counselor one
afternoon for help. Jane had col
lapsed at work and had gone to a
doctor thinking her trouble physi-

physically fine, but on the verge Of
nervous collapse and there was
nothing he could do for her.
Jane was worried. She was lonely
so far away from her family -.
and lonelier still because she felt
she had made no friends in this
new home away from home Fur

was beyond her abilities. Jane need
