AUGUST 31st
Workshops in Oake Village Hall, Oake, Nr Taunton Somerset
2-3.30 pm DRUMMING AND PERCUSSION WITH CHAS WHITAKER
Suitable for all levels of drumming experience, this is a great opportunity to study with Chas (www.arabicdrum.co.uk) who will teach the basic rhythms and by the end of the workshop have you all playing together and sounding great! Also a good chance for dancers to learn more about the music which we dance to. Some drums and percussion provided, please bring your own if possible.
4-5.30 pm DANCING TO LIVE DRUMMING WITH SHEMA AND CHAS
Always a challenging skill, dancing and improvising with a live drummer is one of the hardest yet most satisfying and authentic ways of performing. Shema will guide you through the best way to work with a drummer, how to enter the stage, listen to the rhythms and respond naturally to what you hear, before learning how to finish a performance and exit the stage. Suitable for beginners up, but some basic moves would be an advantage.
Cost: 1 workshop £25 (paid in advance) £30 on the day
2 workshops £40 (paid in advance) £45 on the day
Bookings in Advance via shema@tangerina.org or 07779 295519

You will be taught a simple choreography, suitable for all levels and the more experienced dancers can then layer and add to the movements as they feel appropriate. We will focus on Egyptian technique and expression, building up confidence to play the role required for this track.
