LEADERSHIP SUMMIT LORD’S CRICKET GROUND

This was a very detailed and intricately planned event that was once again executed brilliantly because of the hard work and good communication between client and our artists.  The artists asked the audience to close their eyes and visualise a story she was telling them. She told them a story about an African village far away. The drummers joined in later on stage, drumming softly to build up to the catharsis of the story. The drumming got  louder we then handed out different drums for everyone can join in. This was a high energy drumming experience with great feedback.
