Body Percussion

with Gilson de Assis

No drum sounds by itself, if there isn't the person who strikes it. Percussion takes place in the body, and that's where we meet the rhythm. In this class we use the body as a rhythm instrument - the body becomes an instrument and a rhythm at the same time. It is exciting to experience which sounds and rhythms we can find and discover: by clapping, snapping, stamping, tapping on the chest, using our voice and much more. Whether it is traditional (Samba, Baião) or modern rhythms (Hip Hop, Funk) - we can let our body become a sounding body in a fascinating way.  ​​​​​​​Both beginners and advanced learners in the field of rhythm and percussion are welcome to join the workshop - people who are interested in and enjoy percussion as well as educators who want to enrich their lessons with rhythmic-physical units.
