Another form of Japanese theater is Kabuki. Unlike Nō, it is very active and fast paced. The "art of walking" is exchanged for dance, singing, and elaborate stage rigs. The stages were amazing, interacte, and large constructions that allowed for much more visiual entertainment. The stages would have entire underground tunnels and areas so that stage crews were able to work the effects on the stage. In this way, the manager of the stages and productions had to work very closly with all members of the theater; only through collaborated work, would a sucessful play be executed. The actors were, of course, treated especially well. The actors continued to be all males, but no longer wore masks. One of the most famous Actors of this theater is Bando Tamasaburo, an actor who perfected the women role. He moves with such grace and beauty that he always packs the audience with adoring fans- both genders alike. His beauty wis admired by women and his appeal captivates male fans.
