The client has two options in this combination activity which lasts 90 minutes.
Option 1:
The whole team will do 45-minutes of Interactive Drumming and then another 45 minutes of Interactive Gumboot Dancing.
Option 2:
We will divide your group of delegates into two equal separate groups, a drumming group and a gumboot dancing group.
We will provide a drum and various percussion instruments for the drummers.
A pair of gumboots with ankle shakers with a bandana or mining hat will be given to each dancer. NB! PLEASE BRING LONG THICK SOCKS.
The drummers will learn two basic rhythms, a break and a traditional song, while the dancers learn a choreographed traditional gumboot dance and a mine workers song.
For the first hour the delegates will learn their specific rhythms/dance routines, and for the last ½ hour, our head facilitator will bring the teams together to perform their own industrial theatre
.
The drummers will perform their rhythms and song to the dancers.
And in turn, the dancers will perform their dance, showcasing the rhythm and sounds created by the clapping of hands, bodies and the stamping of their boots.
This will end on a high note, with the company performing as a team, with enthusiasm and synergy, culminating into an evening of drum and dance - an experience never to be forgotten.
(Overalls come standard for the whole group depending on numbers)
