They’re back! Bringing a bit of north eastern Brazilian sunshine to you this autumn. Come and drum or dance with us.

Join us for our open play-and-dance-a-thons. You may be very experienced in the style or may never have given anything like this a go before. It’s a chance for some stamina training in these super intensive and fun mass sessions in rhythms and moves from north east Brazil.

Côco – Traditional Music of Pernambuco

We are delighted to welcome Guga Santos (@gugasantosatelier) from Brazil to join us for this very special masterclass in the Côco music of northeastern Brazil.

This workshop is suitable for every level of experience, beginners welcome.
The workshop aims at a complete approach to Samba de Côco, not only as a rhythm and dance, but also, approaching this “brinquedo” (play) in its various aspects including the history of the Brazilian people, as well as the reality of the Northeastern people, habits, customs, forms of expression and even forms of cultivation.

Juba Jam! Yesterday was a Côco bonanza. We learned some songs, played pandeiro, mineiro, caixa, triangle, alfaia, and had a lot of fun dancing Côco.

Thanks Holly, Freya, and Louise for another great session! Look out for more Jams from September 👀

BRIAN the Lion - and like that, he set off on his journey further up north to Durham to find his new home with @jackdrumarts 🦁 ❤️

Brian was part of a pilot project for Juba do Leão in 2015 when we began to more deeply explore our puppetry, costume, and dance offer as part of an @aceagrams artist development programme. Andrew Kim of @thingumatheatre is technically Brian's papa hehe.

Rather than sitting in our cupboard any longer, the Jack Drum Arts team will give him a new home and a new lease of life. Travel well, our good pal!

Oldham Spooktacular on Saturday • We chose Dia de los Muertos as our theme to remember our ancestors (local and historical) who gave so much for us to enjoy these rich cultural art forms. Huge love to our JDL crew as ever for bringing such massive energy to the streets of Oldham 🙏🏻💜 we miss you Eddie and Sylvia xx

Huge thanks to the amazing Chris Anderson at @noeyedtheatre for the fabulous accessories and Lizzie Rigby @lizardriggers for the wonderful face paint.
