One must return to the past
in order to move forward
節奏是……
左右手擊鼓,身體與腦袋協調;規律的節拍,展現時間的流動;讓心神放鬆,讓身體自然律動;我們的呼吸、腳步、 心跳與脈搏。當我們拼命追求「理想」的生活節奏時,還能覺察和照顧與生俱來的內在節奏嗎?
Rhythm is…
Right and left hands strike the drum, coordination between the brain and body, a steady beat manifests the movement of time, relaxation of the mind and soul, allowing the body to groove in time, our breathing, walking, heartbeat, and pulse. While we desperately chase that 'ideal' living rhythm, are we still aware of and taking care of our internal innate rhythm?
非洲傳統音樂,尤其鼓樂,記錄着古老的歷史。由千年前至今,非洲鼓樂在部落或社群的文化、社會及精神上擔任重要的角色。我們的祖先在大自然中以不同物料取材造鼓;不同社群擁有各自的鼓,聲音、形狀及大小等均有獨特之處。非洲鼓樂與生命息息相關,不但是溝通交流的工具、亦是民間情懷的記錄和精神信仰的展現。在現今繁忙的城市裏,讓我們重新連結這種生命精,以隨手可得的建築和塑膠廢料重新製作敲擊樂器。給大家能量和節奏的加油站! 一個集互動表演、展覽和工作坊於一體,以非洲傳統鼓舞及再生樂器為主題的音樂遊樂場。
The history of the African instrument, especially the drum, is rich and diverse. Dating back thousands of years, drumming played a significant role in the cultural, social, and spiritual life of various African communities. Drums in Africa come in various shapes and sizes, created by our ancestors using natural materials. These drums have played a key role in communication, cultural expression, and spirituality for countless generations and continue to do so in the modern world! African drum rhythm is a testament not only to its deep cultural significance but also to its special spiritual significance, as it is connected to our breath, footsteps, and heartbeats.
In the busy city nowadays, we are recalling and reconnecting with this spirit of life. We bring along our African music and dance traditions and recreate percussion instruments with hands-on materials. Rhythm Booster! is a musical playground of interactive performance, exhibition and workshops, for of course, boosting rhythm and positive energy!
