Posted By Anita Overcash on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 9:57 AM
Beat by beat, you can’t stop the rhythms during Tao’s upcoming performance at Knight Theater on Mon., April 5. This Japanese group of martial arts drummers has received stellar success across the globe in its ability to blend ancient traditions of taiko drumming and choreographed martial arts. During the show, 16 drummers pound on huge wadaiko drums (these are up to six feet and weigh around 880 pounds) with astounding mastery. For more information on the show at Knight Theater, click here.
Can't wait 'till then? You can get a closer look on Wednesday, March 31, from 12 p.m.-1 p.m., when Blumenthal Performing Arts Center’s Education Department presents its Get To Know The Show, Tao: The Martial Art of Drumming at The Atrium. The free workshop will highlight the cultural history and art of Japanese taiko drumming with demonstrations and interactive activities. In addition, all folks attending will get a flyer for a discounted ticket to the upcoming Tao performance at Knight Theater. No reservations are required for this Get To Know The Show, but for more information, click here.
