for communities
For centuries drumming and
dance have been the central focus for community gathering and celebration. When
an important event happened it was demarked by the gathering of the people to
celebrate, thus strengthen community ties enriching the unique
fabric which distinguished one community from another.

community building is the heart of our work. Whether in schools or large corporations
people need to feel they belong. Using music, dance, singing & ritual.
Rhythm Konnections brings
communities together in a joint joyful effort. We can lead workshops in
drumming, percussion, dancing and
ritual that lead up to a community based performance or vibrant parade as
part of any communities’ annual festivals or gatherings where the members of the
community become the musicians and entertainers. This is a lot of fun for the
participants and emphasizes the importance of everyone’s contributions to create
something extraordinary for their community.
music is a
powerful tool for
social cohesion and the beauty of drum music is every one can participate from
the young to the elderly and from the experienced to the novice. Granting equal
satisfaction whether they are playing the biggest drum or keeping time on wooden
clap sticks the emphasis is on everyone’s part being equally as important thus
restoring social and cosmic harmony as one experiences being an integral part of
the whole.
Rhythm Konnections
has been involved in community based programs since its inception 14 years ago
and have led many a colourful parade including New Years Eve in Byron Bay, the
Mullumbimby Chincogan Festival, Alice Springs
Festival, Garma festival and many other
successful community events such as The International Women’s Festival, Big Feet
Little Feet Dance Extravaganza.
Chinta and Cheze,
founders of Rhythm Konnections, also facilitate
weekly drum and dance classes, several annual
community based workshops within other
organizations such as Grafton Arts Fest, Camp Creative and The Annual African
Drum and Dance Camps (see workshops for more information)
