▷Workshop Format

Duration: 1.5–3 hours

Participants: Up to 30 participants

This workshop explores how the body can be used as a percussion instrument, using tap dance techniques to create and shape sound through movement.

・Participant Requirements

Participants are asked to bring hard-soled shoes suitable for producing sound.

・Venue Requirements

A venue with good acoustics is preferred. A resonant wooden floor with an air space underneath is ideal, as it allows the sounds and vibrations of the movement to be amplified naturally.

The workshop can be tailored to the participants, venue, and overall festival or event program.
