Training Workshop - The history of Japanese drums: from tradition to resignification

The objective of this training course is to present and introduce, from a historical perspective, Japanese drums from the Prehistoric (Genshi), Ancient (Kodai), Medieval (Chūsei) and Pre-modern (Kinsei) Periods. This survey considers: mythology; the use of taiko to communicate with the sacred; drums in wars and in traditional and folk arts (Nô and Kabuki theater); its recreation in the Modern Period (Kindai), specifically after the Second World War, when the collective performance of these instruments became known as kumi-daiko.

TARGET AUDIENCE: The project should be enjoyed by audiences of different age groups, socioeconomic conditions, especially teenagers and young people who are unaware of Japanese culture. Thus, it is also expected to promote the approximation of audiences formed by immigrants, descendants of Japanese or even admirers of this ancient culture.  PLATFORM: Google Meet  DATE: February 24, 2021  HOURS: 7pm to 9pm

​ Project supported by the Aldir Blanc Cultural Emergency Law nº 14.017/2020.
