Finding Her Beat: Film and Discussion

Finding Her Beat: Film and Discussion Wednesday, March 6 | 7 p.m. Rose Theater Reserve your FREE ticket. Join us for a film screening of Finding Her Beat. A master of Japanese drumming and a Korean adoptee from Minnesota boldly convene an all-female troupe to perform Taiko, the Japanese drumming art that has been off-limits to women for centuries. As the early menace of Covid rumbles in the background, the group faces down hurdles to prepare for a historic performance in snowy St. Paul. Buoyed by dynamic drum performances and do-or-die spirit, Finding Her Beat is an energizing and uplifting story of music, cultural expression, and sisterhood. Q&A to follow. Co-sponsored by the Tadler Center for the Humanities and the Center for Belonging and Inclusion
