A WORLD
OF SOUND RHYTHMS*
with Benji Cachia
17 & 18 November 2026 ➔ In Person, 6:30PM CET ➔ €80
THE WORKSHOP
From everyday objects to a collective rhythm
You don’t need a traditional instrument to make music. And you don’t need to know how to play one.
In this two session workshop, you’ll explore rhythm through clapping, body percussion and simple exercises before building your own instrument from recycled and everyday materials.
You’ll experiment with different sounds, learn how individual rhythms can work together and gradually turn what the group creates into a short rhythmic piece.
The workshop ends with an informal performance where you put it all together.
