The party began with a performance by...ZEROtaiko...in the restaurant's little garden. ZERO mixes traditional taiko (drumming) with synthesized sound and stunning dance by...Atsumi...who weaves drumming into her movement. One arm turned like a windmill, striking the drum with each revolution, while her other arm passed under the windmill to strike another drum. The precision was exacting, while the music was so energetic I could feel the brick walls reverberating. - Elissa Karg, Metrotimes Detroit
I am thrilled to report that ZEROtaiko was a hit! I also had an excellent experience on-site. Atsumi and the group were very professional and easy to work with. When all the elements came together in the first rehearsal, I knew the performance was going to be great. And when it was showtime, their energy and spirit only increased. Our clients were blown away with the opening. I always sneak into the foyer and listen to the audience at the end of the show. Even 2 hours later, the audience was still buzzing about how cool the opening was. - Nancy Orbin
