About the event

Drum & dance woodland gathering
Where drums ignite our spirits and movement awakens our joy.

We welcome drummers and dancers alike to the Arnos Vale Woodlands at the Underwood Centre for an afternoon where drums pulse with primal energy and bodies dance in celebration of now.

This gathering brings together drummers and dancers in a special collaboration between Ruth and Brillo, creating a space where we honour life together beneath the summer sky.

YOUR DRUM & MOVEMENT JOURNEY
OPENING

Experience the super bassy and calming resonance of our 40" Foremother Drum. Each participant will have the opportunity to stand next to her and receive healing vibrations while making their own silent intention for the day.

Be transported by ancient melodies from the Middle Eastern cifteli, accompanied by shruti box and polyphonic overtone singing, creating an environment where we connect with our roots and each other

COMMUNITY RHYTHM EXPERIENCE

Express yourself in our first dynamic drum and dance jam where everyone belongs, regardless of experience.

Take turns playing the Foremother Drum in groups of two or three, connecting through practices that have united communities for thousands of years.

For dancers and non-drummers: This gathering equally celebrates movement! Let your body become your instrument!

SOCIAL CONNECTION

Refresh and connect during our break with herbal tea (bring your own mug) and snacks.

SOUND EXPLORATION

An opportunity to discover your natural voice through simple guided sound practices.

Express yourself in our second community jam through rhythm, percussion and free movement.

IMMERSIVE GONG & DRUM FINALE

Experience a rare group opportunity of sitting between the Foremother Drum and gong in a 360° sound immersion to close the circle
