You're Invited! Members of the Great Lakes Taiko Center (GLTC) Taiko Arts Collective and connected communities (e.g. regional Taiko groups and/or kaDON.com subscribers) are invited to Groove with our guest artist Kaoly Asano when she visits us in Michigan on her 2025 kaDON Midwest tour!
We welcome Kaoly-san back to our GLTC community along with Tawoo member Eriko and Emily Harada of kaDON & TaikoArts Midwest for mid-week Taiko workshop opportunities on May 21st and May 22nd. We hope that you can join us and our special guests for Taiko gathering, grooving, and growing in these community offerings with our GLTC partner kaDON.
Roots of "ELEVEN" on THU May 22nd is a Great Lakes Taiko Intensive meant for collective members and kaDON community, especially those with a seeded relationship with the piece, such that we can dive deeper with Kaoly to nurture the seeds and grow, rooted in song and spirit! Members are encouraged to attend both 3 hr workshops if possible, and may request song review material. Food/drink will be provided (by kaDON for workshop participants) during the Dinner Gathering. Location for THU 5/22: Riverside Arts Center (76 N. Huron St., Ypsilanti, MI 48197)
