Rhythm Delivered: Audible Dance, Visual Music
DrumatiX presents a fun, funny, and high energy blend of tap dance, body percussion, and drumming on and with various drums, found objects, and invented instruments. Rhythm Delivered is an intersection of genres, presenting “audible dance” and “visual music.” Students will delight in following the expressive antics of a group of friends as they discover objects in cardboard boxes and creatively turn each one into a musical or rhythmic device.
