6:30 PM - THE ORDWAY, TARGET ATRIUM
Pre-show eXTRA:
THE UNTOLD
STORIES OF
WOMEN
IN TAIKO
Join us one hour before the show for the Ordway Extra for excerpts from the HERbeat film project, the untold stories of women in taiko, One of the film's Co-Directors, Dawn Mikkleson, will be there in person to discuss the film. Co-Director Keri Pickett may also take a break from filming to say hi as well. Taiko drumming has thundered throughout ancient Japanese art and culture, traditionally reserved only for men; now resounding as high art on the contemporary world stage, taiko is both ancient and modern, ever-evolving. The HERbeat film project follows the leading women in taiko from the United States and Japan as they prepare to perform together for the first time, each forging her own path, pursuing art that fuels her soul despite seemingly insurmountable cultural, financial, and personal barriers.
