Body Beatbox – body percussion
Body percussion is an accessible, fun and inspiring way to create music together. The only thing you need in the Body Beatbox workshop is yourself! (5-19 years).
Body Beatbox presents a performance with body percussion (= playing percussion on oneself) and singing. The children are introduced to an accessible and inspiring way of creating music together. The inspiration comes from Brazil and the group Barbatuques. Body Beatbox recasts pop, world music and Swedish wisdom into self-evident body percussion songs and ties them together with interactive moments and a little talk. Everyone can join in and you only need yourself and each other when rhythms mix with songs and steps in a breakneck playful groove workshop.
WORKSHOP
Participants learn a set of sounds and are also encouraged to invent their own. In various exercises, we train the body's sense of pace and turn until we can try a body-percussion groove. We move a lot and also use our voice. Body percussion trains both rhythmic awareness and motor skills in a very tangible way and is well suited for recurring activities.
