Odaiko New England performs at the Newport Black Ships Festival at the historic Cardine’s Field, one of our biggest performances of the year. We’re very pleased to return to Newport’s weekend-long festival celebrating the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa, which opened the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to United States trade. The “Black Ships,” or “Kurofune,” refers to the Japanese term for foreign ships.
Shimoda is now Newport’s sister city and also celebrates this festival.
The Black Ships festival is hosted by the Japan-America Society of Rhode Island.

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.
