Try Taiko! - Sunday, 12/5

Taiko is a full-body performance art that blends physicality and musicality, movement and rhythm. Originating in Japan but molded by a globalized world, taiko performances pay homage to ancient rhythms as well as innovate contemporary beats. Join the Pioneer Valley's own Mountain River Taiko for a brief introduction to taiko and a chance to try your hand at the big drums!

___

Participants will gain an introduction to taiko, basic skills regarding form and strike, and learn a brief song to be played as a group. No experience necessary!
