The following youtube footage are demonstrative examples of the formats, styles and techniques our performers utilise to give you a sample overview of our Touring Arts Performance Rhythms of Life.

The Rhythms of Life Show is an interactive and explorative musical journey of world percussion and african drumming; music genres and cultures, presented and facilitated with a vast array of percussive instruments collected from all over the globe providing an engaging atmosphere and sensory overload for the eyes, ears and mind.

STUDENTS and EDUCATORS have the opportunity for accelerated learning and absorption through dynamic interactive & live playing in a whole assembly or classroom environment.

Students are welcomed into a nurturing environment to participate within their own levels of comfort and music ability, contributing collaborative musical ideas to the live and interactive drumming experience as new compositions and soundscapes develop organically. Blending from the ancient and Traditional with the Contemporary world music genres and cultures, students will explore rhythms, ensemble and arranging music creative processes whilst gaining techniques in improvisation; the art of conversation.
