NATC 2025 Phoenix

This workshop is meant to give participants a lively sample of TAWOO dojo and practice internalizing groove with the people around you. TAWOO, created by Kaoly Asano of GOCOO, focuses on the philosophy and approach to how taiko is more than just hitting a drum, but the resonance that comes from taiko also comes from deep inside of you and the people that join you to create it. The sound we can create together can become contagious, to the point where it makes us want to freely move, perhaps dance. Repetition will be used to help reach grooves together across all experiences to taiko. Phrases from a TAWOO song or Emily original will be taught to create a groovy atmosphere.

Please bring bachi!
