This year, our 38th annual CN will take place on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at Royce Hall from 7:00-9:30 PM! It will highlight the diversity within the Japanese American community and discuss the difficulty of accepting one’s own identity. This story will be strung together with performances by Kyodo Taiko, NSU Modern, NSU Odori, a drama cast, and a choir. The rich history of these performance groups and their connection to the Japanese American community make them more than fit to tell our story: Kyodo Taiko is the nation’s first collegiate taiko drumming team, NSU Modern is a competitive hip-hop dance team, NSU Odori is a traditional Japanese dance group taught by professional Kabuki actor Bando Hiroshichiro, our drama cast consists of NSU members that auditioned and were chosen for the roles. Each performance group will add a new perspective to the Japanese American story and promote a new understanding of the overall experience.
