SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

Natsuko Mineghishi delivers an impressive performance in Back at the Dojo. 

"The surprise package is performer and martial artist Natsuko Mineghishi, a real-life karate black belt (she runs her own dojo in Melbourne) and an accomplished singer.Her sensei is pure gravitas and her power and speed – demonstrated in a bout with actor and karate practitioner Dara Clear playing a brown-belted wise guy – electrifies the room. Stage fights don't always convince. This one had the room gripped and close to cheering."

THE AUSTRALIAN

All the performers take part in martial arts sessions, led by a sensei, Natsuko Mineghishi, whose movement and authority take over the show in her scenes. She sings strongly, too

JOLITSON

A diminutive but commanding presence, Mineghishi plays Danny’s sensei on stage and makes the theme of discipline and honour tangible.
Having a real sensei there leading a fair amount of karate (having trained the cast in the basics with a class each day during rehearsals) gives the play a visceral physicality and exhilarating energy. The crack of Mineghishi’s bamboo cane across the younger Danny’s body makes you wince, while a fight between the sensei and a brown belt is thrilling.

What people say...

Duo Kalen Concerts
​Outstanding performance by Natsuko with her beautiful singing! As well as a orchestrating a brilliantly entertaining afternoon with a unique program covering all possible aspects of the theme from music, delicious delicacies and as well as colourful garments to try and purchase. Had the opportunity to also meet some wonderful people from divers backgrounds with a passion and appreciation for classical music. Looking forward to enjoy the next programme!! Mashi 
​ライブなどは行ったことがあったのですが、あのような音楽会というのは初めてで、行くまで想像がつかなくてちょっとドキドキしました。
でも、行ってみたら歌やピアノがとってもとっても感動したのはもちろんのこと、歌の背景のお話が聞けたり、シンギング・リンとのコラボレーション、着物、季節に合わせた和菓子など、楽しめる要素がてんこ盛りでした!
なんだか、音楽会の概念が変わるような体験でした!なつこさんの歌の熱量と迫力に鳥肌が立ちました!!本当に感動しました!ピアノも本当にすてきでした。

同じテーブルの方とも色々お話できて、それもまた楽しかったです。
音楽通のベテランの方々もたくさんいましたが、私と同じように初めてでドキドキという方々もいらっしゃっいました。今回、私はオーストラリア人の友を連れて行ったのですが、日本の伝統的な歌やすばらしい歌声にとっても感動していて、私も嬉しくなりました。絶対にまたなつこさんの音楽会に参加したいと思います!Mari
​虽然是第一次去音乐会,但很喜欢。音乐也都很好听,现场听和在家听感觉不同的。现场还有买和服的,还有茶和点心。文化感扑面而来,很新鲜。
最后一首歌是日文版的邓丽君的《我只在乎你》,能在异地他乡听到熟悉的旋律很感动。
如果你喜欢比较静的活动,我相信这种音乐会你会喜欢的。还可以带家人来。因为本来(在墨尔本)能和长辈们一起做的事情就少,他们喜欢静啊。但是这音乐会就很好,我妈也很喜欢。Ava
