Gendo Taiko

It’s that time of the year again!

We are happy to announce that our free introductory taiko workshops for this school year will begin on SUNDAY, 9/18. Gendo will be teaching the basics of how to play taiko through one of our (arguably) favorite songs!! No prior experience, whether it be rhythmic or taiko, is necessary!

Taiko is a group performance art that combines traditional Japanese drumming with elements of the martial arts and modern jazz. It’s rhythmic, it’s intense, and it’s a whole lot of FUN!

We encourage everyone to join us for auditions at the end of workshops where you’ll have a chance to join Gendo Taiko!! Audition is not mandatory to attend the workshops. However, if we are able to ignite your passion for taiko, please join us on SUNDAY, 9/25 for auditions!!

Workshop #1: SUNDAY 9/18; 8:30pm – 10:30pm

On September 12, Gendo performed for Waterfire’s full lighting event. We kicked off the school year by playing a thirty minute round of Yatai and Tamaire, first circling the basin then floating down the canal. It was a night of fire, magic, and taiko!
