Please write a 1–page description of what the stage (and/or theater) that your tradition is performed on looks like.  Be specific and define any technical vocabulary words that use.  For example: the actor walks down a hanamichi, or a narrow platform that crosses through the audience and connects the stage to “house of the gods.”
