Workshop: Our Conversation in Rhythm and Sound
Coming together in the conversation of music is not unlike the conversations we create in speech… its just another language. HOW we create, WHO we are in this creation, WHY we create, WHAT we have to say and what we will COCREATE will be the focus of our time together in this unique workshop. Understanding how a well oiled drum collective from Brazil, Senegal, India, etc… fit together like tongue and groove will enable us to create simple and complex rhythms that call us deeply into understanding how the reflection of the life lessons in music are so vital. It deeply exposes who we are for ourselves and each other in our everyday lives.
All experience levels welcome as you are encouraged to bring every sound you possess from your physical body to external instruments(drums/percussion) as well as your open heart and mind. We will discuss and put concepts into practice that will last a lifetime in both your musical and non musical life blurring the lines of creativity, communication, language, the subconscious, and the primal connection we should never forget. And rest assured…. we will beat the living shit out of some drums so bring ‘em if you got ‘em'!!!!
