Masae is now preparing her presentation. We try to figure out the time. Our way of addressing becomes quiker. 層の概念は興味深い。社会学的、民族的、カルチャル スターデイ、地域、エスニックstudy!

As for regionalism, I think the issue of Okinawan performing arts should be discussed in the concept of ethnicity and identity. Yuko Kurahashi questioned about feminine other, when it started. Femininity, orientalism, and double identities, systematized discrimination, etc, have been the present issues in Okinawa.
Our presentation was done within the limited time, we could make our each topic clear, which is related one another.
At night, we could go to RSC, and saw The White Devil by John Webster at the Swan theatre.
So many tourists were there in Stratford-upon-Avon, some Japanese high school students were there, too. From all over the world people come to this town to get something special. The birth house of Shakespeare is crowded.
It was amazing that around 500 theatre researchers and critics attended together in the same theatre. Tsutumi Harue, Kurahashi Yuko, and Masae were together. It's nice to see the familiar faces at the conference. Most of them present their papers.
