In taiko, we often talk about the “ki 氣” with reference to the energy of the performer and stage presence. This course explores the “ki” as a force from within your body, an important element that we often overlook. “Ki” is the force that affects your stance, posture, alignment, strike, timing, and the sound you create from the drum. It has the power to enhance your fluidity of movement and core muscle connection. In this 6-week course, we will delve into various drills and exercises that focus on breathing, body coordination and beyond. Learn to connect deeper, harness and release natural energy that is also gentler to your physical body, and strike like a Jedi. May the force be with you.
