Odaiko New England is happy to return to the PopCult Anime Convention in Framingham. We loved sharing Japanese drumming (or taiko) at the convention last year and look forward to doing it again this year. We will be giving both a lecture/demonstration and a workshop for those inclined to give taiko a try.
Registration with the convention is required to attend both the lecture and workshop.
Join us at PortConMaine, Maine’s geek culture celebration. A convention that includes anime, science fiction and fantasy, cosplay, table-top and video gaming, and other fandoms. Check out their amazing list of panels and events. ONE will be giving a taiko demonstration and workshops. A convention registration is required for access.
We are very happy to announce that Odaiko New England will be hosting workshops taught by a very special master taiko artist, Tiffany Tamaribuchi.
KATA, INJURY PREVENTION, CONTROL & EXPRESSION (TUES, 12/11, 6:30 – 9:30)
We all know that taiko drumming is a physically demanding activity. Given the nature of how we move our bodies when we play, we are more at risk for certain kinds of injuries, especially with certain more physically demanding styles. The goal of this workshop is to provide you with tools and techniques that you can use to prevent injury while giving you a greater sense of control and freedom as you’re playing. All levels welcome.
Cost is $50.
Also check out the first workshop: Odaiko on Monday.
Cost for both workshops is $100. Space is limited so email info@onetaiko.org with
“TT Workshops” in the subject line to reserve your spot.
These workshops will be AWESOME. Don’t miss out on this amazing learning opportunity with one of the leaders in the global taiko community!
