Workshop information
The aim of the Planet Rhythm workshops is to provide each student with the opportunity to take part in a unique & memorable hands-on experience, and to be a collective part of something big...
What to expect...
EVERY CHILD will have the opportunity to:
• be encouraged in a ‘have a go’ attitude & be intrinsically rewarded through self effort
• experience a boost in confidence & self esteem, the feeling of exhilaration & pride that comes from self belief & a sense of achievement
• enjoy the rewarding feeling that comes from mustering the courage to ‘take the stage’
• experience the sense of belonging from ‘team player’ contribution & being engaged in a collective group of celebration
• develop an appreciation of cultural diversity & difference
• improve awareness & understanding of rhythm & beat
• be enabled to explore creativity as a 'performer' & the excitement of performing in front of peers
• be an enthusiastic audience member in support of each other
• simply have fun - throughout the workshop expect the unexpected, there are many surprises and quirky moments contributing to a BIG atmosphere providing smiles & laughter all round.
Planet Rhythm is a large & loud production: the kids will be amazed at the magnificent collection of world drums & percussion instruments sourced from the four corners of the globe. Guided on a musically evolutionary journey, the children will gain an insight into how rhythm & instruments originated. They will also begin to understand & appreciate the significance of drumming on many cultures throughout the ages.
Most importantly, the workshops are all about the children...in front of their peers, they take the stage to become the 'Stars' of their own show...
The content is structured to suit specific age groups and is suitable for all primary grades
The cost is $5.00 per student + GST
We are happy to attend all schools, big & small, country & city, but because of the extra costs involved in long distance travel & extended set up/pack up times, we have set a minimum charge for 100 children per visit.
The School is to please provide:
• Access to the venue minimum 75 minutes prior to the start. In some cases we may request access on the previous afternoon where possible
• Access to power
• 5 tables/trestles
Duration & Workshop Size:
• 50-55 minute workshops for junior primary
• 55-60 minute workshops for middle primary
• 60-70 minute workshops for senior primary
80 to 120 students per session is ideal
Variables such as school population & venue size, school timetable and events are all taken into consideration to determine the size of each workshop. We will work together with you to customise the best possible workshop format based on our years of experience. Planet Rhythm is a very flexible school program which can be tailored to suit any unique requirements your school may have, incorporating such things as artist-in-residence, special events, arts weeks, theme days etc
