Bodypercussion

Course-content: It is fascinating to see what types of tones and rhythms we can find and invent with the body in order to then feel how bodies and rhythm become one. The body offers infinite possibilities for making rhythm perceptible and experiencable in a playful way: clapping, clicking, beating the chest, using voice, and much more. Beside the concentrated work however, one thing is not to be forgotten: the fun in experiencing rhythm and percussion.

Berimbau

Course-content: The description of the berimbau as a "musical bow with calabash-resonator" is probably the closest to it's reality. Its special role lies in the rhythmic accompaniment of the Afro-Brazilian fight-dance capoeira. This was developed by the Bantu-slaves and was regarded on the one hand as an entertaining amusement, on the other hand however also as a defence- and attack-technique. Gilson de Assis displays the position of the musical bow and points out the playing technique (high and low sound, handling of stone and stick). The typical basic Brazilian rhythms ("Toques ": São Bento Grande, Angola, Lúna, Cavalaria, among others) will also be developed with songs belonging to it, the so-called "Cantigas".

Prerequisite: Good rhythm- experience.

SAMUL NORI ENSEMBLE

Noreumachi is currently the leading group in the art of Korean drums. Samul Nori (four instruments) is based upon the traditional Korean percussion music of farmers. It is powerful, spiritual music whose sense reunites human beings and nature with ceremonies and feasts. The present-day stage-music, which also comprises of spectacular, daring leap-dancing by the drummers has developed from this origin. A frame drum which looks like a tennis racket, is also integrated into the dances: the Sodo.
Four instruments are played, which stands for the four elements of nature and become connected through the music from a Confucianistic/ Shamanic idea: Kwänggari - a small, piercing gong. It drives the other instruments as a symbol for lightning. Tschanggo - an hourglass-formed, double-skinned drum; it is a solo-instrument that is beaten with two sticks in a highly, masterful and acrobatic way. It is regarded as the rain-instrument. Jing - a flat bass gong and thousand year old, pan-asiatic instrument with a deep, ascending sound - it embodies the wind. Buk - the bass drum posseses a continuous, powerful pulse. These instruments will be taught during the workshop.
Caution for sensitive ears: This music is louder than other frame drums! Don't forget your ear plugs.
Kim Ju Hong, the leader of the group, is a traditionally trained shaman. He will demonstrate the shamanistic drum-rite.
