POP
(Five Week Course - Once a week)
Rehearse and Perform with your group at any event or in a POP-Up!!
"POP" was composed in 2017 as a piece which would not only be performed by TOKARA on stage,
but also taught to many taiko groups around the world to participate in worldwide "POP-up".
This is an unabashedly fun and lighthearted piece, while at the same time containing complex rhythm and movement.
This piece was performed during TOKARA's 18th Anniversary Concert by performers from eleven different countries.
This particular POP-up was dedicated in-part to the community and staff who have continually supported us in our efforts to
create and strengthen the bridge between Japan, and the INADANI Valley in particular, and the taiko community in more than
twenty countries around the world through our yearly intensive courses and workshops.
Completion of this course allows participants to rehearse and include POP in their groups repertoire for performance at events.
