Join Djulz for an immersive West African Drumming Intensive Workshop
THE REVILLAGING PROJECT
182 Browns Road, Boneo, Vic 3939
About the Event
These monthly workshops offer a soulful and accessible entry into the rich experience of West African drumming, offered from a lifetime of immersion in the language of the drum.
By learning this language in the way it has been passed on by the masters of its tradition over time, we of Western communities can learn to listen more deeply and create music as a community that is rich with purpose and that resists the gradual erosion of ancient traditions that comes from ‘jamming’ without effort to preserve and learn from the original musical structures and techniques.
By giving our attention to the complex system of relationships within the drum ensemble, and also to the inner activity we experience directly when executing the rhythms ourselves, we can begin to appreciate something of the worldview that birthed the art - reliant on personal contact, social agreement and cohesion for its highest expression.
No previous drumming experience is required to join a workshop, and drums will be provided for all.
These classes are suitable for drummers of all levels.
