Open Taiko Workshop

Join this 3-day series of workshop sessions with Claremont’s Taiko Club! All are welcome, whether new to taiko, or building on skills from past years. Participants will be invited to participate in workshops and a performance in the fall. New participants should attend the first session to cover basics, and may join day 2 and/or 3. Returning participants may attend all days, or only some days.

This workshop will be held outside rain or shine (we’ll have separate tents if needed) with COVID protocol, bring your mask.

Ideal for ages 10 and up and adults, but we welcome you to contact us to see about younger participants. This event is funded in part by the NH State Council on the Arts and the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
