''Ennen'' were dance programs organized at Buddhist temples, and prominent chiefly in the late medieval period. Drawing upon and often accompanied by ''[[bugaku]]'' dances, ''ennen'' incorporated a variety of dances and other performances on mythological themes. Often, a ''chigo'' (sacred boy) was heavily involved in these performances, which included ''[[shirabyoshi|shirabyôshi]]'' dances performed by the ''chigo'', a variety of ''[[Glossary of performance terms|mai]]'', and ''furyû'': exchanges of dialogue & reenactments of mythological scenes.
