SWARM offers a unique hands-on
experience full of fun, movement and music. The workshops are tailored
to suit the ages of the participants from elementary schools up to master
classes. We teach people some of the basic rhythms and movements from
the SWARM show culminating in everyone dancing and drumming around in
unison. The participants learn to mimic the many rhythms, vocal calls
and crazy physical gestures of the lead drummer. The more advanced members
of the drum circle get an opportunity to lead the drum circle, building
confidence and dismantling the hyarchy of the teacher-pupil relationship.
The workshops naturally reinforce the value of teamwork and encourages
community bonding through a simple fun structure of collaborative group
activity that encourage's individual spontaneity. Find out more www.swarmweb.com. |

as much depth and pizzazz as when she delivers them! Joining vocalist

They evoke primal rhythms from the drums and ethereal soundscapes from a wide range of musical sculptures. The mesmerizing contemporary collage of music, movement and mass, thrills audiences of all ages. Visual artist and musician, Bill Wallace, is the founder and director of SWARM. He designs and constructs all the instruments which include drum sculptures, longstrings, marimbas, water gongs, vacuum whirligigs, tuned artillery shells, musical body costumes, and parachute projection screens. Core members, Daniel Lunn and Wayne Mercier, with founder Bill Wallace create the visceral theatrics of SWARM. The one-of-a-kind instruments, the movements they invoke and the creative collaboration of the SWARM troupe propels percussion theatre to new heights.
