Rhythmical and musical Workshops & Energizers for community-building, team-building, conferences, celebrations, fun, by Beenhakkers Percussion.
Connecting and Sharing
Looking for, and sharing things that connects you with the others. Not focussing on 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.
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 Interactive Rhythm-Circle / Free percussion workshop is all about dis-covering and fun, not about learning.
The energizer session with boomwhackers was brilliant and had some great feedback

Interactive Rhythm-Circle / Free Percussion Workshop
Exhilarating longer workshop (up from 60 minutes) with djembes and other percussion instruments. In this program the participants make a mutual connection by playing their own, self-invented rhythms on a hand-drum.
Within the group-music 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.
