SUMMARY:Keep the Pulse Together workshop with Chiara Codetta & Samuele Galimberti from Taiko Lecco in Italy
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 7th November 2026\n9.00am – 12.00pm: ‘Keep the Pulse Together’\n£35 per person \nLimited spaces left – to book/go on the waiting list please email hello@taikosouthwest.org.uk. \nFocusing on keeping the tempo together\, learning to listen to each other and become one with the group through a series of enjoyable games and exercises. We will explore nurturing relations through taiko\, for taiko (and\, maybe\, for life!). This workshop may be suitable for beginners but also for more experienced players in any taiko style and way of practice. Open to everyone who plays taiko regularly at the Taiko Centre (but not complete beginners). \nAbout Chiara Codetta & Samuele Galimberti \nAbout Chiara \nAfter years of craving for it\, fifteen years ago taiko got into Chiara’s life thanks to a car accident: with the insurance money Chiara travelled to Japan and started playing taiko. Bad things can sometimes have unexpected and positive side effects! \nOnce back in Italy Chiara joined Taiko Lecco in 2012 and since then performs and teaches in therapeutic\, social and educational contexts. Chiara deepened her practice writing a thesis in\nanthropology about taiko in Los Angeles\, under the guidance of prof. Wong of UCLA and ended up reflecting about capitalism\, show-business and the “ethnic” aura of taiko. \nChiara loves taiko travels and connections and has practiced\, performed and studied in Japan\, the USA\, across Europe\, in Canada and Taiwan. Taiko Lecco invite teachers from Japan and friends from all over the world to deepen our understanding of taiko and its roots\, in order to move forward and use taiko to express ourselves. \nChiara’s focus is on community and body awareness\, but also on experimental uses of taiko departing from Japanese tradition. Chiara’s main taiko project is with Sanbiki no Taikouchi\, and their album is on Bandcamp. \nRecently Chiara is broadening taiko through folklore and myths both European and Japanese\, but also enriching it with different performing opportunities such as theatre\, dance and singing while working as well on “khilibe’s taiko kitchen” to experiment with taiko as a tool for enquiry and improving relations with self and others. \n  \nAbout Samuele \nAlways a music enthusiast\, Samuele joined Taiko Lecco in 2008. His passion for Japan led him to spend a year abroad in 2013-2014 in the city of Nagoya\, where he attended a Japanese high schooland lived with a local host family. During this time\, he came into contact with the professional taiko group Tenrin Daiko\, practicing with them throughout the year. \nSince his return to Italy\, taiko has become an increasingly central part of Samuele’s life. Through Taiko Lecco\, he has had the opportunity to collaborate with leading figures in taiko\, such as Leonard Eto\, Masayuki Sakamoto\, Kaoly Asano\, Eri Uchida\, and Kenny Endo\, as well as working on projects related to theatre and dance. \nSince 2018\, Samuele has been a member of the trio Sanbiki No Taikouchi alongside Chiara Codetta and Tobia Galimberti. He participates in various taiko gatherings at both national and European levels. Samuele has been teaching taiko to teenagers and adults for several years and has recently been managing projects in kindergartens and primary schools under the supervision of Giorgio Galimberti. In the past year\, he has launched a solo project featuring electronic taiko\, loop station and synthesizers. \n
