We conduct an annual masterclass (2005-2009) for the NTC Youth Theatre Company based at the Alnwick Playhouse in Northumberland, teaching performance skills through taiko drumming.

"Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers have provided workshops for InterACT: The Northern Region's Theatre Training Ensemble for Northumberland Theatre Company, since 2003.

Not only have these been an exciting & exhilarating opportunity to learn taiko drumming skills and find out about the taiko tradition but an exceptional experience in complicite, precision and focus - working together as an ensemble, providing an excellent chance for the trainees to work at these particularly relevant skills outside their own performance comfort zones.

Teresa and all the other teachers have been outstanding: charismatic, wonderfully energetic and enthusiastic and superb instructors.

A truly first rate workshop."
