This year HANDS adds a little more scope to their annual student concert series, ‘Drum Slices’. Kaleidoscope is intended as a learning festival for drummers, percussionists or for any music enthusiast for that matter. It opens with a drumming competition for primary school kids and a series of workshops by HANDS, Hands Gamelan Group, Wadaiko Syo, Mokaba Art Group and Dhol Federation. Highlights of the festival are performances by these same groups, as well as Kencana Putra, a traditional Malay drumming group; Deafbeat from the YMCA and drummers from several schools under HANDS tutelage. Having various drumming troupes participate, each with its own experience, makes it a great way to share, and to learn skills and knowledge, for both participants and contributors. Moreover, having different groups of people together will create ‘sparks’ which will ignite into a wonderful fun learning experience for all concerned. We hope this first festival of ours will set a trend for our ever challenging artform.
《鼓宴》
六月鼓艺节，让生活来场万花鼓宴！
宇宙欠缺空气，即使大爆炸也宁静无音；
地球上的我们，这个六月可热闹了！
手集团零九年重头好戏，
以鼓声击破天际线，
如星球相互撞击生化成光热轰隆的彩烟；
唤醒所有沉睡的灵魂，
共鸣、共感、共舞、共戏、共观。
手集团，因敲击认清自己，和万物对话多年，
在六月酝酿一场鼓艺大爆炸！
一场由鼓艺文化调理的盛饌，
集各方鼓团精髓，
融华、巫、印三族文化，
召各路鼓艺好手，
以敲击交流相互切磋，
以鼓乐韵律相互和旋，
以文化深层相互成长，
每一个表演、工作坊及交流，
就是要让你靠近鼓，触摸鼓，听到鼓。
我们大摆鼓的饗宴，
要你一起来大吃、大喝、大乐！！！
