Boom! International Festival of Percussion presents
The Groove
Afternoon Beats Workshop
In this 80-minute workshop we will be exploring what it means to musically 'lock in' together.
Through a series of rhythmic activities utilising body percussion and vocalisation, ranging from easy to more challenging, participants will delve into the concept of 'communal pulse' and develop the skills needed to be part of a rhythmic fabric.
This workshop is suited to percussionists and drummers of all stripes, other musicians, upper high school percussion students (years 10 to 12), tertiary percussion students, and the general public.
Please note workshop is limited to 30 participants. No instruments are required.
If you have access needs, please call the Box Office on 02 9061 5344 to book tickets.
This event cannot be purchased as part of a Boom! Festival Pass.
