San Jose Taiko by Brittany
This was a very energetic performance that made you feel as if you were in the middle of it. From the beginning to the end it was just a never ending excitement. The way the performers were able to bring all of the aspects together of dance, music, and choreography, then not to mention they still were able to truly enjoy what they were doing. Along with these great qualities of the actual performances the way they were also able to transition from one set to another and it was so well done it didn’t take anything away from the performance.
One part I really enjoyed in the beginning was the way the show started off. Having a single person stand on that stage and beat the huge drum, it almost made your heart pulse, and then the way all of the others were able to join in. Not to mention the way the performers moved from drum to drum during their performances. They were able to jump from one drum to another and not only that but they were turning circles, and they were still able to stay together and be in time.
The choreography was amazing, the way they were all able to be together throughout all of their songs, (not only in the choreography but in the rhythms also). They didn’t just hit the drums they made something like a performance inside of a performance out it. With each drum hit it was like there was story behind it or a reason for it sounding and being the way it was.
Finally something I found amazing if not unbelievable about this type of performance is how they have the whole show memorized. Even thought they do call things out throughout the selection it still amazes me that they have the ability to do that. Plus the way they called out the moves it only added to the performance. They were able to convey so much through the ‘chanting’ and just the way they beat the drums. Also they used the same kind of drums throughout the whole show but each song was defiantly its own, and sounded nothing like the pervious one, nor the one that would follow. Overall I really enjoyed this performance and I would enjoy going back to it again if it ever came back.
