Taiko Trommeln Workshop -Für Schnupperkurs-

Thu, Oct 29, 6:45 PM

From JAPANESE CULTURE CLUB

4.8

**Taiko Workshop** Teilnahmegebühr Vorort:20€ Bring einen Freund oder eine Freundin zum ersten Mal mit und erhalte 5 € Rabatt auf deinen Taiko-Kurs! Habt ihr Lust, Musik nicht nur zu hören, sondern mit dem ganzen Körper zu erleben? Taiko ist mehr als Trommeln. Kraftvolle Schläge, große Bewegungen und dynamische Rhythmen bringen den ganzen Körper in Bewegung. Dabei könnt ihr den Alltag für einen Moment hinter euch lassen, neue Energie spüren und erleben, wie aus vielen einzelnen Schlägen ein gemeinsamer Rhythmus entsteht. Bevor wir die Trommeln spielen, nehmen wir uns einen kurzen Moment der Meditation. Wir kommen zur Ruhe, lassen den Alltag hinter uns und stimmen Körper und Geist bewusst auf das gemeinsame Taiko-Spiel ein. Von der Stille in die Bewegung, vom einzelnen Schlag zum gemeinsamen Rhythmus – auch dieser Übergang gehört für uns zum Taiko-Erlebnis. Musikalische Vorkenntnisse braucht ihr nicht. Im Workshop lernt ihr Schritt für Schritt grundlegende Bewegungen und Rhythmen kennen und erlebt selbst, wie es sich anfühlt, mit dem ganzen Körper Taiko zu spielen. Taiko-Trommeln haben in Japan eine lange Geschichte. Seit Jahrhunderten begleiten sie Feste, Zeremonien und spirituelle Traditionen und sind bis heute an vielen japanischen Schreinen und Tempeln zu finden. Taiko steht deshalb nicht nur für kraftvollen Klang und Bewegung, sondern ist auch tief mit der japanischen Kultur verbunden. Nehmt die Trommelstöcke in die Hand und entdeckt selbst die besondere Verbindung von **Stille, Bewegung, Rhythmus und Gemeinschaft**. Ort: Kaiserdamm 113 14057 Berlin Klingel bitte im 3. Stock bei **„Shumei Deutschland“**. Wenn du durch den Eingang hineingehst, findest du direkt links die Treppe oder den Aufzug. Komm dann einfach in den 3. Stock hoch. 和太鼓ワークショップ音楽をただ「聴く」だけではなく、全身で体験してみませんか？太鼓は、ただ太鼓を叩くだけではありません。力強い一打、大きな身体の動き、躍動感のあるリズムによって、全身を使って演奏します。その中で、ひととき日常から離れ、新しいエネルギーを感じながら、一人ひとりの音が重なり、一つのリズムになっていく感覚を体験できます。太鼓を叩く前には、短いメディテーション（瞑想）の　時間を設けます。心を静め、日常から気持ちを切り替え、身体と心を意識的に太鼓へと向けていきます。静けさから動きへ、一つの音からみんなのリズムへ。この移り変わりも、私たちが大切にしている太鼓体験の一部です。音楽経験は必要ありません。ワークショップでは、基本的な身体の動きやリズムを一つずつ学びながら、全身を使　って太鼓を演奏する感覚を実際に体験していただけます。太鼓には、日本で長く受け継がれてきた歴史があります。古くから祭りや儀式、精神的な伝統とともにあり、現在でも日本の多くの神社や寺院で見ることができます。そのため太鼓は、力強い音や身体の動きを　楽しむ楽器であるだけでなく、日本文化とも深く結びついた存在です。ぜひ太鼓のバチを手に取り、「静けさ・動き・リズム・一体感」がつながっていく、太鼓ならではの特別な体験を味わってみてくだい参加費現地:20€ （初めて参加する友達を連れてきたら、太鼓コースの参加費を5€割引します）場所：Kaiserdamm 113 14057 Berlin 3Fの「Shumei Deutschland」のインターホンを鳴らして、入り口を入ってすぐ左側の階段かエレベーターをつかって、上がってきてください。お越しいただけるのを楽しみにしています(\*^-^\*)

Day of the Dead. Performance based on singing and voice meditation

Sun, Nov 1, 6:00 PM

From Singing in the dark

\*Registration required at infobetweenvoices@gmail.com In many parts of Eastern Europe, especially Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine, autumn was a time for remembering loved ones who passed away. People gathered, shared food, sang, told stories about the past, and made their offerings to the ancestors. Around the beginning of November, when the boundary between the living and the dead was believed to be especially thin, communities marked this time through rituals and celebration. This event draws inspiration from those traditions and reimagines them through singing, listening, and connection. The evening begins with a song. There is no clear separation between audience and performers; everyone is invited to settle into the space and become part of the atmosphere. Through songs, we will gradually create a shared space for reflection, connection, and participation. No singing experience is needed. Some songs will be repeated several times, making it easy to join in if you wish, or simply listen. During the evening, we will move into a short guided voice meditation in the dark, using sound, breath, and listening as a way of slowing down and staying present. Afterwards, you will be invited to leave a small symbolic offering on a shared table. It can be dedicated to a family member, a friend, or anyone who is no longer here. We invite everyone to stay for tea, snacks, and conversation. This gathering is loosely inspired by *Dziady*, a traditional autumn ritual of remembrance practiced in different forms across Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine. It is not intended as a reconstruction of the tradition, but as a contemporary gathering that brings on some of its themes: memory, community, song, and making space for those who are no longer with us. We invite you to spend this evening with us. – Dead Collective
