Odaiko New England performs at the Newport Black Ships Festival at the historic Cardine’s Field, one of our biggest performances of the year. We’re very pleased to return to Newport’s weekend-long festival celebrating the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa, which opened the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to United States trade. The “Black Ships,” or “Kurofune,” refers to the Japanese term for foreign ships.
Shimoda is now Newport’s sister city and also celebrates this festival.
The Black Ships festival is hosted by the Japan-America Society of Rhode Island.
Bring the kids for the Institute of Contemporary Art’s Play Date: Creating Wonderful Worlds. Once a month the ICA fills with activities for kids and adults to do together and Odaiko New England will be a part of it this July! The event runs from noon to 3pm.
“Admission is FREE for up to 2 adults per family when accompanied by children ages 12 and under. Youth 17 and under are always admitted free to the ICA.”
Odaiko New England is happy to return to the PopCult Anime Convention in Framingham. We loved sharing Japanese drumming (or taiko) at the convention last year and look forward to doing it again this year. We will be giving both a lecture/demonstration and a workshop for those inclined to give taiko a try.
Registration with the convention is required to attend both the lecture and workshop.
