Workshop Descriptions:
Part 1: Drumming for Dancers
Basic technique will be covered as necessary to accomodate novice drummers. More advanced techniques will be demonstrated for intermediate/advanced drummers. Following the warm-up will be a call and response excercise using a selection of common rhythms that can be drilled with variations suitable to the level of each drummer. Putting the rhythms together will introduce concepts of transitions and endings. Drummer/Dancer etiquette, communication, counting cycles, ideas for accompanying solists, troupes, and/or ATS dancers will be discussed. If time allows we will also discuss the stucture for a drum solo for the dancer. Handouts will be provided and instuctional cds available for purchase. Doumbeks are prefered but frame drums and zills are also welcome. Drummers are also encouraged to take Part 2: Dancing for Drummers to put to practice what they have just learned!

Part 2: Dancing for Drummers
The purpose of this workshop is to listen and dance to the drum. Having knowledge of rhythm and rhythmic structure will enable dancers to define the dance they create whether as a soloist, with a troupe, using choreography or improvisation. In addition to listening and identifyying the most common rhythms, points covered will include communication with the drummer, counting cycles, knowing where the "one" is, hearing the accents and transitions, rhythm vs. melody and playing zills. An excercise for all participants will include choosing two rhythms randomly then communicate with the drummer and improvise or choreograph a short dance. Although the workshop will cater to all levels a basic knowledge of the dance is assumed. Participants are encouraged to bring zills. Handouts will be provided.

My Testimonials

December 24, 2007
Lacey is an absolute delight as a teacher. She adapts quite well to varying levels of skill, helps get past experience limits in a most delightful way, integrates the parts into the whole well, and doesn't hesitate to break down a more complicated maneuver as she scans the group for trouble. Add an infectious laugh, delightfully offbeat soundtrack and massive amounts of energy, and you have a downright good teacher and human with students - albeit with aching arms - who have learned a heck of a lot in a short time. Woo!
