Update April 16, 2020: Unfortunately, the second session of Family Kecak had to be cancelled. All registrants will receive their choice of a full refund or transferred credit to another GSJ class. We hope to offer this class again in the future!
This class is for everyone in your household or pod! Join together with your kids, your parents, your partner, or your roommate for this class where more is merrier. Kecak is a Balinese vocal tradition, where musicians use their voices to imitate the sounds of gamelan instruments. You may have heard of it referred to as “Monkey Chant”, but we use the the word kecak out of respect for Balinese people and culture. Much of Balinese music is based on interlocking rhythms: one melody made by two or more voices. This class offers a chance for you to try interlocking with anyone you’re with. Gather around the computer screen and learn kecak with us!
Taught by Ida Bagus Made Widnyana and family (zooming in from Bali!).
Fridays 7-8pm Pacific. April 16-May 21. 6 sessions.
Suitable for all ages.
Only one registration necessary for everyone in your household. When choosing your sliding scale rate, please keep in mind that GSJ depends on your generosity to support high caliber artists and programming.
GSJ is committed to making the Balinese arts accessible for people of all abilities. Please email staff AT gsj.org or call FIVE ONE ZERO 655-1227 if you require accommodations such as closed captioning or language interpretation. We will also check in with each registrant before class begins.
