Feeling the Rhythm: Frame Drum, Movement, and Making Music Together in Mannheim
On Monday, November 9, 2026, the EinTanzHaus in Mannheim transforms into a vibrant sound space. In the workshop Feeling the Rhythm, beginners without prior experience will discover the frame drum, movement, and musical body coordination.
In Time with Hands, Voice, and Body
The focus is on the basic playing technique of the frame drum in Upright Style. Participants will learn a secure posture and gradually develop a feel for timing, dynamics, and rhythmic precision. Flowing movements, concentrated listening, and playing together merge into an intense musical experience.
Konnakol and Odd Meters
A special component of the course is Konnakol, the Indian rhythm language. Spoken syllables make rhythmic structures audible and help to better understand subdivisions, odd meters, and complex patterns. Thus, rhythm is not only played but also internalized with voice and body.
Technique Meets Joy of Playing
The workshop combines expertise with immediate practice. Exercises for coordination and independence train motor skills and sharpen musical perception. Singing and playing at the same time are also part of the program and lead directly into a holistic musical process.
Learning Together at EinTanzHaus
Group playing forms the core of the course. The collaborative work creates a concentrated, open atmosphere in which musical ideas arise and develop. The course consists of six sessions and builds upon each other; participation in at least four sessions is recommended. A trial visit is also possible.
Important Information for Participation
The workshop starts at 19:00 and lasts until 20:30. Entry ends promptly at the beginning of the course, so participants should arrive at least 15 minutes early. Tickets are only available online; there will be no box office. Comfortable clothing is recommended; the classroom is entered barefoot or in socks. The course takes place in the rehearsal room next to the church, not in the church itself.
