A Concise History of Drumming
Description:
A Concise History of Drumming was a performance exploring the ethics, physics, and metaphysics of drumming, and the multidimensional relationship between performer and audience. Written and composed by Andreas Kahre, the work was directed by Charles Gerrard-Pinker, with movement by Janet Brook. It was performed by Norman Armour, Diane Brown, and David Garfinkle.
A Concise History of Drumming evolved from a series of solo performances with Cymbali at Western Front, the Music Gallery in Toronto, and the Newfoundland Sound Symposium in St. John’s.
