Description

1ST International Body Music Festival from Tuesday, December 2 to Sunday, December 7. Over six days, the festival will feature concerts, workshops, teacher trainings, a lecture-demonstration, a body music open-mic, a family matinee, and in-school assembly programs. The Festival will present body musicians performing traditional and contemporary pieces from the U.S., Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, Canada’s Arctic, and other popping, stomping, humming corners of the world.

What is Body Music? Before people were hollowing logs and striking rocks, they were using their bodies to stomp, clap, sing, snap and grunt their musical ideas. Traditional and contemporary Body Music styles around the world include hambone, palmas, saman, gumboot, sasa, kecak, stepping, beatboxing and many more. Music you can see, dance you can hear.
