Performance + Music Making
Get ready to clap your hands, wiggle your fingers, stomp your feet, make some music, and have some fun!
What do you get when you cross DEVO with The Wiggles? Join us for a musical and theatrical adventure provided by the unique electric bassoon and percussion quartet slapslap, which brings together up-tempo dance, music, storytelling, and creative play in a unique interactive event just for families. Your family will delight in slapslap’s technical musicianship and light-hearted absurdity, with a performance that is equal parts enthralling, wacky, and fun.
After the performance, participants will learn more about improvised music by making their own slapsticks and playing along with the musicians!
Recommended for ages 3-12 and their parents or guardians.
Note: This performance is high energy for artists and audiences alike! Loud music making and movement will be highly encouraged.
Formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the summer of 2018, slapslap is just a group of pals who love to get slappy. slapslap’s unique brand of ‘performance-art-rock’ will sweep you off your high horse and bring you down and dirty into the depths of the SLAPOSPHERE. slapslap is composed of electric bassoonists Maddy Wildman and Ezra Gans and percussionists Cameron Wilson and Tanner Tanyeri.
