It has been called a "wood-and-paint version of multimedia." Basil Twist takes the technique as a departure point for an intimate, contemporary work of puppetry influenced both by the the tradition of dogugaeshi and his own encounters with the remaining rural caretakers of this once popular art form. Dogugaeshi features original shamisen compositions, created by and performed live by master musician Yumiko Tanaka. » More Information  COMMUNITY EVENTS  STUDENT LIFE CONCERT Rensselaer Music Association  Saturday, April 18, 2 PM + 6 PM  Free + Open to the Public   Join the Rensselaer Music Association for a showcase performance by RPI's talented student musicians.
