Everyone in the Audience Will Get Instruments So They Can
Play Along on January 11, 2020
With the tag-lines
“YOU are the show” and “Drums for Everyone” it’s no surprise that Samjam, and their show Rythmo!, have
become an international success. Rythmo!
is a 200% participatory musical experience for the entire family. Full of
energy, fun, and learning, each member of the audience receives all the
equipment they need to become an integral part of the show. Bringing music to
life in a way that allows everyone to contribute, Rythmo! is sure to be a
favourite family show this season. Join the fun at Horizon Stage on Saturday,
January 11 at 2 p.m.
Music plus fun, plus participation, equals
Rythmo!, where you will receive a Samajam music bag, full of percussion
instruments including drumsticks, musical tubes, and tambourines. You will learn
and perform music with the Samajam artists, create collective songs and games
with the Samajam video games, and play for more than 80% of the show.
Recommended for ages 4 and up Rythmo! promises to be fun for parents,
grandparents, and aunts and uncles too! And, with Christmas on the horizon, theatre
tickets are the perfect gift of entertainment for kids who already have too
much stuff.
Samajam is a Quebec-based percussion company that
has performed over 5,000 shows in the last 10 years. They have showcased
productions in more than 10 countries and have six full time teams touring
theatres, amusement parks, outdoor festivals, and cruise ships all over the
world. With a mission to create participatory musical
experiences aimed at entertaining, educating, and mobilizing, they value
performance, professionalism, generosity, and an energizing attitude.
Founded in 1994 by Louis Bellemare, the Samajam
Percussion School has become over the years the largest percussion
school in Canada, with facilitators teaching classes in African, Brazilian,
Latin and Gumboot percussion to over 800 participants per week. The Samajam
School Perseverance Project has actively mobilized more than 19,000 children in
the past 7 years through participatory musical activities in schools, child
care facilities, and camps. In 2016 the company took their Kids and Family
Music Show to international audiences and it quickly became the most popular
touring production in China.
Rythmo! is not a show that children need to sit
still and be quiet at; active involvement is encouraged. Come make some noise
