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