DESCRIPTION: Drum and dream with us in a fun 2-hour workshop experience that will introduce participants (ages 13-adult) to the powerful artistry and generous spirit of Japanese Taiko Drumming through demonstrations and hands-on activities from our Midwest Taiko arts collective. Enjoy watching a Taiko performance and then join our Taiko Play drum circle to practice moving in space, using our voices, and playing with instruments. Share in our dream of collective play as we explore the rhythms and groove of Taiko music together. We provide the drums (taiko) for you to play on, and you can borrow, bring, or purchase your own pair of wooden drum sticks (bachi) to play with. These sessions will be led by Eileen S. Ho with members of the Great Lakes Taiko Center (GLTC) Taiko Arts Collective.

COST: $49/2-hr workshop, optional $10/pair of bachi
