Noh Reimagined 2025 - crowdfunding campaign

Noh Reimagined, the  festival dedicated to the artistry of  Noh theatre, returns to Kings Place, London from 28 to 29 November 2025.

Now in its fifth edition, the festival invites audiences to explore the timeless spiritual and aesthetic power of Noh through rare classical performances, cross-cultural innovation, and world premieres that bridge Japan and Scotland in unprecedented ways.

Earlier this year, when the Arts Council England’s online system was down, the Noh Reimagined team were unable to apply for crucial funding for the 2025 programme.

Furthermore, for the first time since 2016, their application for local government support from Japan was unsuccessful. These setbacks have resulted in a shortfall of £20,000.

Below you can read a plea from the organisers, and log on to Noh Reimagined’s crowdfunder page.

We urgently need your support to keep this groundbreaking event alive. Our immediate goal is to raise £8,000 by the end of November — a crucial step toward bridging the £20,000 funding shortfall — and ensuring Noh Reimagined 2025 can continue to inspire, connect, and spark creativity.

“Now in its fifth edition, Noh Reimagined 2025 will be our most ambitious programme yet. But we are facing a significant financial challenge, partly due to an Arts Council England application system error that left our project in limbo.

Your support is vital to help this unique cross-cultural project continue — to keep sharing the excitement, depth, and inspiration of Noh with audiences and artists in the UK.
