Beatbox / Rhythm Clinic with Rizumik

February 24, 2017 - 3:30pm
107 Old Cabell Hall
Free and open to the public

RIZUMIK is an artist mostly known for his rhythmic and improvisational skills. In 2016, he was part of the faculty of Bobby McFerrin’s Circlesongs course, at Omega Institute, alongside Rhiannon, Judi Vinar, Joey Blake, Christiane Karam and Karen Goldfeder. He was the lead in the internationally acclaimed show The Voca People and was the 2012 American Beatbox Champion. Rizumik uses beatbox, hand percussion and vocal improvisation in his teaching. His rhythmic skills also include tap dance, body percussion, drum kits and performance with percussion syllables (“Konnakol” style). He currently teaches his own style of beatbox/vocal percussion sounds and techniques branded as “Cadenza," focusing on the parallel between human communication (languages / accents / alphabets) and the Universal language of music and rhythm. This colloquium event will be focused on experiential learning.
