SLAM! This amazing troupe of percussionists create an incredible spectacle of
sight and sound as they present their dynamic and exciting sets of highly
choreographed performance. The players use all sorts of objects to fuse
together driving arrangements played on ladders, traffic cones, cars,
exhausts, wheels, windows and anything else they can get their hands
on!
The Show
Starting within the audience as staff, audience members or security, the
Slam! artists melt into the pre-show chitchat, serving or ensuring guest
safety. The leading member of the team takes a well-timed fall and
discovers the percussive possibilities of his spilled tray or dropped
ladder. Brushing aside offers of help from the audience the downed artist
comes to life as a funky stylish drummer. From all four corners the
security staff replies in percussive answers to the lead players call. And
suddenly they turn the space into a vibrant, percussive experience.
This cast can involve anything that the guests or client requires in their
breath-taking shows and especially for tonight the guys will transform
into combats and fatigues to give a military feel to this stunning show.
Our cast of 5 bright performers and percussionists rock through 4
routines of ear-catching rhythm that will leave your guests gob-smacked.
