    Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center, Woltosz Theatre
  • Description
    The Gogue Center presents Kodo at the Woltosz Theatre—Thursday, March 20.

    Exploring the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese drum, the taiko, Kodo is forging new directions for a vibrant, living art form. In Japanese, the name “Kodo” conveys two meanings: firstly, “heartbeat,” the primal source of all rhythm; and, secondly, “children of the drum,” a reflection of Kodo’s desire to play the drums simply, with the heart of a child.

    Since the group’s debut at the Berlin Festival in 1981, Kodo has given more than 3,700 performances across five continents, spending about a third of the year overseas, a third touring in Japan and a third rehearsing and preparing new material on Sado Island.

    This performance is presented as part of the Gogue Center’s 2024–25 Dance & Movement Series.

    Our 2024–25 season is sponsored by Walt & Ginger Woltosz.
