Family Performance

Hill Auditorium
| Adult | $10 |

Using any surface for its rhythmic possibilities, Keith Terry “claps his hands, rubs his palms, finger-pops, stamps his feet, brushes his soles, slaps his butt and belly, pops his cheek, whomps his chest, skips and slides, sings and babbles and coughs, building his music out of a surprisingly varied register of sounds and clever rhythmic variations.” (Village Voice) A percussionist/rhythm dancer whose work encompasses music, dance, theater, and performance art, Keith Terry brings together musical colleagues from many different cultural traditions to create the SLAMMIN All-Body Band, which brings together globally inspired beatboxing and Terry’s masterful, graceful body with soul-stirring vocalists. Using only their bodies, the group explores, blends, and bends traditional and contemporary rhythmic, percussive, and movement possibilities in “a crossing of cultures, a blurring of boundaries at its most sensitive, most humanistic, and most magical.” (National Public Radio) This special performance follows a week-long residency for younger children and college students. It will leave audiences creatively exploring new sounds that they can make with the oldest and most accessible instrument in the world — the human body.
