While preparing a presentation on traditional Asian theatrical arts, a student took the following notes:
* Kabuki is a classical Japanese theatrical art that developed during the early 17th century.
* In Kabuki performances, actors deliver dialogue and sing while performing stylized dances on stage.
* Kathakali is a classical dance-drama that originated in southwestern India during the 17th century.
* Kathakali performers do not speak or sing; instead, they convey the narrative through precise facial expressions and hand gestures.
