This year the UK Taiko Festival is taking over The Phoenix Arts Centre for the weekend! Exhibitions, performances, film showings, workshops, food and drink are all available in one happy taiko hub!

Celebrating taiko’s national presence, enhancing understanding between cultures through international artistic collaboration and providing a platform for a all styles of taiko to be shared on one stage, the UK Taiko Festival is the biggest annual gathering of taiko players in Europe, offering the opportunity for taiko players of all ages and abilities to perform, learn, and share the energy, joy, and talent of the UK taiko community.

Click here for full event details and to see how you can get involved.

This workshop will introduce the concept of working on two drums, utilising the space in between and understanding the relationship between the beats and the movements that make playing on two drums in this way so exciting. It’s a great way to embrace a different style of playing that might give you some ideas for writing a new piece, or just be a good workout and lots of fun!

Suitable for those with at least one year experience of taiko playing.

£20 per person.
Contact Jonathan@kagemusha.com to book your place, as spaces are limited.

Over two days you will have the opportunity to collaborate with other participants in composition, learn a new taiko piece that is not in either of the books, with some great take-away teaching tips and experiences to use with your group as soon as you get back. We give the opportunity to video the taiko pieces that are learned and created but also send you a DVD afterwards so that you can absorb it at your own pace when you’re back at home.
