Treehouse Shakers: Animal Rhythms February 1, 2009

Treehouse Shakers is a dance-theater company. 'Animal Rhythms' is an enticing performance blend of West African story culture, dance, theater and live music. 'Animal Rhythms' has audiences explore rhythm as they create the sounds of the ancient story drum using call-and-response chants and body drumming. Audiences are introduced to vibrant modern dance as the humorous characters journey through the stories in bright African costumes and headdresses. Animal Rhythms opens with an introduction rhythm and movement workshop, allowing audiences to connect to the dance they are about to see. There is also an African drumming workshop between the stories.
