Zvika Serper is Professor of East Asian Studies and Theatre Arts and Dean of the Yolanda and David Katz Faculty of the Arts at Tel Aviv University. He is a specialist in Japanese theatre and cinema, as well as a theatre director and actor. He studied in Japan for eight years, during which he pursued his research at the Noh Theatre Research Institute of Hōsei University, Tokyo, while also engaging in the practical study, training and performance of noh, kyōgen and kabuki with Japan's leading actors. During the past two decades, he has been exploring a new horizon that traditional Japanese theatres may open up for Western theatre by incorporating various Japanese aesthetics and techniques into acclaimed productions whose video recordings have been shown around the world.
