DANC 049D. Dance Performance Repertory: Swarthmore Taiko EnsembleTaiko is an energetic neo-folk drumming art stemming from Japan and its postwar diaspora. Emphasizing choreographic, embodied approaches to Taiko, as an ensemble we learn contemporary and folk-based repertory from Japan and the international Taiko community, culminating in end-of-semester performances. Through Taiko, we hone intense physicality and musicianship, perseverance, mindfulness, cooperation, responsibility, creativity, and an appreciation for Japanese and Asian American cultures. A dance technique course, such as DANC057 Taiko I, taken concurrently is highly encouraged but not necessary. 2 PE or 0.5 academic credit (1~2 short papers)
