Inspired by the beach and ocean, Shifting Sand<br />
is a powerful evocation of the ocean’s many<br />
faces. TaikOz’s ethereal sounds, thunderous<br />
taiko drumming, dynamic movement and<br />
dance seeks to capture the beauty, majesty<br />
and force of the ocean. From the delicate play<br />
of light on the surface of the sea to the raging<br />
fury of winter storms.<br />
‘Taiko’ is the Japanese word for ‘drum’ and<br />
TaikOz is Australia’s leading taiko drumming<br />
group. A TaikOz performance is more than<br />
just the beating of drums: it incorporates<br />
a complete world of drumming, song and<br />
dance that harks back to ancient Buddhist<br />
and Shinto rituals. It is a reflection of<br />
contemporary musical life, irrespective of<br />
nationality. A TaikOz performance is not just<br />
for the ears and eyes, but is felt throughout the<br />
entire body. It is a truly visceral experience.<br />
The Australian Government<br />

“…the crowd [was] stamping and cheering<br />
for more. Each member seems to be able to do<br />

like angels.” ~ The Australian<br />
