BODY PER­CUS­SION WORK­SHOP

with JIRI BOUDA

Body per­cus­sion is a musical style drawing in­spir­a­tion from many dif­fer­ent cultures of all over the world. This musical art has roots in pre­his­tor­ic age being one of the oldest ones in the world. Before the people strated to do music, they probably used their bodies first to make a sound.
Hand clapping, feet stamping, finger snapping and many other sounds drawing from dif­fer­ent cultures... this is Body Per­cus­sion. It is a very in­de­pend­ent style which depends on your fantasy and cre­ativ­ity.
Using your body you can play a musical in­stru­ment without the actual ,,in­stru­ment“. Using your move­ments to produce the sounds makes you a dancer at the same time.
This style de­velopes the sense of rhythm, per­cep­tion, co­ordin­a­tion, co­oper­a­tion, comu­nic­a­tion and much more. At the same time the Body Per­cus­sion improves co­ordin­a­tion skills and using dif­fer­ent parts of your brain it pos­it­ively affects your memory and con­cen­tra­tion.
With Body Per­cus­sion you can be in action, feel relax and mainly you can do it anywhere you want because you are the in­stru­ment!
