Beenhakkers Percussion offers various programs. They are all suited for many different occasions: a corporate conference energiser, meeting icebreaker, break-out, away day activity, or a team building exercise.
The programs can be for fun, serious or both. Each program has it’s own accents and qualities. All programs have lots of humour and community building. And lota of music and drumming of course :-).
Drumcircle-workshop
The rhythm is already in you!
You don’t have to learn rhythm, you just have to discover it: your personal rhythms, how to listen, how to focus, and how to interact with the other team-mates.
A facilitated drumcircle-workshop is all about dis-covering and fun, not about learning.
English programs Beenhakkers Percussion
Longer program with various percussion instruments. Within the group everybody creates his/her own rhythm. The facilitator guides the group and gives directions in HOW to play, not WHAT to play. In that way the group learns how to create together an in-the-moment rhythm. Everyone can explore end express their rhythms in any form that works for them. Looking for, and sharing things that connects you with the others. Not what separates you from the others. Looking for similarities instead of differences.
The focus is therefore on connection, contact, relationship, sharing, exploration, respect and community building.
