Fushu Daiko: On The Path - Taiko's Renaissance In America - Smart Stage Series

Important: This event is located at the Parker Playhouse. For directions please see below.
On Sale: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 - 10:00 AM
Tickets: $6.00

This dynamic performance by a company of 12 Taiko drummers teaches audiences about the roots of Taiko drumming and its growth throughout the United States. This 2,000-year-old art form consists of many different kinds of drums from the small shime daiko to the 9-foot tall odaiko! The performance consists of live narration to guide the students through the drumming experience, which is interspersed with amazing high-energy percussion.

Since our beginning in 1990, Fushu Daiko has practiced joyously in the pursuit of ever increasing mastery of taiko drumming, understanding, and appreciation in the way of taiko, Japanese culture, and all of life.
Fushu Daiko is made up of many nationalities and backgrounds, yet we have been drawn together by the taiko. Through it's sound Fushu Daiko wishes to create a sense of connection in the hearts of those who hear the taiko's beat. http://www.fushudaiko.com/
