Little Drum (sneak peak) with Ben Brown
What Lab’s Artist in Residence, drummer, Ben Brown will conclude his first ever solo residency with a public showing of his work-in-progress, Little Drum: solo piece for drums, voices & cymbals. Ben will flip what we know as the ‘drum kit solo’ on its head by re-imagining a type of musical statement popularized by jazz & rock drummers whose use of masculinized and (now) institutionalized movement fossilized the form.
Join us for an intimate evening at What Lab as Ben opens up his process and shares his initial findings in blurring the lines between dancer and musician.
Accessibility Info
What Lab is located at 1814 Pandora Street. There is no dedicated parking, only street parking. The venue is located on the second floor up one flight of stairs, but there is a ground level accessible entrance through the back of the building. Seating is typically informal, and will include some combination of chairs, floor seating, couches, and cushions. There is one single-occupancy, gender-inclusive washroom. The washroom is not big enough for larger style wheelchairs to completely turn around in while the door is open. We are a trans-inclusive space.
