Blessings of the Earth
11 Nov 2010
Blessings of the Earth features the full range of TaikOz’s dynamic taiko drums – including the 250kg odaiko Grand Drum – as well as a solo dance by TaikOz member, Anotn Lock, Solo from Kaidan: A Ghost Story, choreographed by the internationally acclaimed Meryl Tankard. The performance also features perfomances, “Blessings of the Earth” can be enjoyed by all ages. Taiko is the Japanese word for drum and TaikOz is Australia’s leading taiko drumming group. However, a TaikOz performance is more than just the beating of drums: it incorporates a complete world of drumming, song and dance that on the one hand harks back to ancient Buddhist and Shinto rituals and on the other, is a reflection of contemporary musical life, irrespective of nationality. While once a uniquely Japanese art form, its transformation into an international language is a recent phenomenon and one in which TaikOz is very much at the forefront. Full Price: $25, Conc: $20, Student: $15 and Family 2A2C: $70. Tickets available from Mildura Visitor Information Centre or by ringing 5018 8376.
