Kami-umezu Onidaiko Workshop

Onidaiko, which literally translates as “demon drumming,” is one of Sado Island’s iconic traditional performing arts. It’s an auspicious demon deity dance set to the beat of a taiko drum. At EC 2020, the members of Kami-umezu Onidaiko-gumi led this workshop online. This year, don’t miss your chance to come and experience this spirited dance in person!

Miyake Taiko Workshop (Workshop Full)

Miyake Taiko is known for its low stance, fluid movements, and powerful beats. While it became popular worldwide thanks to Kodo’s signature piece “Miyake,” this version finds its origin in the traditional “Miyake-jima Kamitsuki Mikoshi Taiko” upheld in the Kamitsuki Region of Miyake Island. Come and learn from the source, Miyake-jima Geino Doshi-kai—the locals who originally taught Kodo to play Miyake Taiko in the early ‘80s. It’s a full-body workout!
