Drum Circle

2.00 pm - 3.00 pm

Main Stage (G1)

YSDAF’s crowd favourite is back! A hit with children and adults alike, a Drum Circle is a celebration of life, community and music-making that also has therapeutic qualities.

People of all ages and backgrounds, armed with drums or percussion instruments, take their seats to form a circle and drum together under the guidance of a facilitator.

This activity provides participants with the chance to explore their inner sense of creativity, reconnect with their playful self and support each other through non-verbal means. It empowers participants by inspiring self-confidence as well as the appreciation of being included and respected.

The participants will then pick up basic drumming techniques, rhythm patterns and learn how to play together in a drum circle, jamming as a group.

🔔 IMPORTANT:
Those who have pre-registered must show up at the workshop location at least 15 min. prior to the workshop time. Otherwise your spot will be released.
