Deepening our relationship to rhythm and music through exploration and embodiment.
About^
Embodying Rhythm is the co-creation of David Alderdice and Arlyn Alderdice. It is the container for their individual as well as their combined work in the fields of rhythm and embodiment.
Mission^
The mission of Embodying Rhythm is to assist people in learning about themselves via the study and practice of rhythm, percussion and dance.
What we mean by embodyment or Embodying the Rhythm is to engage in the process of becoming more in tune with the present moment, especially through music making, drumming and dancing. Something magical happens when one is immersed in music making, the past and future slip away, a space opens up and there isn’t room for thinking. Each person may find something slightly different in that space, peace, joy, stillness, ecstatic experience, learning or just fun.
Who we are^
David: Percussionist, drummer, performer, and teacher.
Arlyn: Percussionist, performer, dancer, teacher and herbalist.
What we do^
We provide inspiration, information, services, and support relating to drums, drumming, percussion, rhythm, music, and dance. Our offerings include the services of a highly skilled professional drummer for studio recording, touring, technical support, consulting and teaching. We offer many forms of educational experience from private lessons to group workshops, classes, lectures, and community building. We also produce musical and rhythmic performances.
We occasionally build custom labyrinths for people or events… and spend time tending our garden.
It is our pleasure to share our work and play – drumming and dancing with you.
