TAO - "The Martial Art of Drumming"

Featuring: TAO - "The Martial Art of Drumming"

Presented by: George Mason University Center for the Arts

Saturday, March 20 at 8 p.m.
Sunday, March 21 at 4 p.m.

Described as “powerful, dynamic and unique” by Time Out Chicago, this energetic ensemble combines athletic bodies and contemporary costumes with explosive Taiko drumming and innovative choreography for an electrifying theater experience. Though their art form is often thought of as male-dominated, TAO creates a unique allure with both male and female performers, all having undergone years of rigorous training in the ancient art of Japanese drumming to reach the highest level of virtuosity. By drawing on backgrounds as diverse as rock musicians, gymnasts, and composers, each member brings their own special flair, resulting in a young and vibrant interpretation of this traditional art form. “Extraordinarily talented…incomparable muscular zeal.” (Chicago Tribune)
