Laser Tag & Kanzaburo

Summer Greetings!
I hope you are enjoying your summer as much as I am. This Saturday the Japanese meet-up groups organized a laser tag event at Laser Nation in Falls Church. For those who have never played, you and your team-mates are armed with a flashing vest that has 4 target areas and a laser gun.

The arena is a maze of dimly lit corridors. Your goal: to shoot the other team and attack their base. Our group was small and we only won 1 of 3 games, but we had a blast! Fun for all ages!

I am sure you have heard of and maybe even attended the Kabuki show last week. This Thursday the 2nd of August at 6:30, the JICC is holding an event entitled

Kanzaburo

Photographer, Michel Delsol who documented Kabuki actor Kanzaburo in 2004, will speak about recording the artistic and psychological preparation, Kabuki as an art form, and his own challenges of capturing this dynamic theatre on lens.
