Reverberations with RAW is
a FREE taiko drumming workshop series this fall for LGBTQ+ people ages 50 and up!
Join RAW Taiko for an introductory exploration of the rhythms and sounds of taiko. Together, we’ll learn about the drums, experience the reverberations of joy, rage, power and support that they have to offer us, and ease into the physical movements of taiko at the pace of our own bodies. No experience or musical background required!
Who is RAW Taiko?
RAW Taiko, originally established in 1998 as Raging Asian Women Taiko Drummers, is a Toronto-based organisation made up of East and Southeast Asian women and gender non-conforming drummers. We carry on the diasporic taiko tradition that grew out of Asian American and Asian Canadian participation in racial and gender justice movements of the 60s and 70s. RAW Taiko plays large drums as creative resistance for social change, carving space for self-expression, education and community building.
