SC Arts Centre: Sechelt Arts Festival: Durational Taiko: Celebrating the Equinox
Taiko a thousands’ of years ceremonial tradition that bring entire communities together—lasting for hours to days—as a form of collective healing and resilience. Taiko players from the Vancouver and Sunshine Coast taiko community will gather for a ceremonial offering in honour of our chosen and biological ancestors.
Public Invitation: Witnesses are invited to observe and meditate through deep listening and stillness. One handmade practice drum will be available for those who feel called to play. At times, traditional pieces will be played. If you choose to join in, we encourage you to support the pulse by playing the backbeat or grounding rhythms. This is a collective space for healing and connection—please tune in and play in a way that complements the energy of the group.
