DANC 057. Taiko ITaiko I introduces us to Taiko drumming, an energetic neo-folk art stemming from Japan and its postwar diaspora. Taiko emphasizes drumming as choreographic and embodied. Through games, drills, and repertory excerpts focused on kata/form and upper-lower body coordination, we will simultaneously cultivate physical and musical skills grounded in Japanese and international Taiko culture and history. Possible video viewing and performance attendance. 2 PE or .5 academic credit (2 short papers) Graded CR/NC. Recommendations: Students already enrolled in DANC 049D. Swarthmore Taiko Ensemble (also known as Dance Repertory: Taiko) are highly encouraged wherein possible to take this course concurrently, or, as a means of maintaining proficiency if intending to re-enroll in the ensemble course in a later semester.
