The Eighth
Annual East Coast Shakuhachi Camp is an idea that has grown out of the
excellent work that has been done at the four International Shakuhachi
conventions, and the annual Shakuhachi Summer Camps held in Colorado.
We sincerely hope to supplement this work, and to provide a learning
experience on the Shakuhachi to people on the East Coast who may not be
able to travel. We are very happy that last year's Shakuhachi camp was
such an overwhelming success.
This year we will feature work on the Shakuhachi used as a Healing
tool, as well as the usual work on the Honkyoku and the Sankyoku (Trio)
Repetoire. The duration of the camp will last its usual 4 days.
Back again this year : is a special Shakuhachi Construction Workshop
where new participants will get their very own jinashishakuhachi and
returning students will get to explore fine tuning. Jon
Shingetsu Kypros will be our instructor (flutedojo.com).
We would like to invite individuals whose instruments are the Shamisen
as well as the Koto.
The camp program includes four classes per day with the following
Shakuhachi Masters: Kurahashi Yoshio Sensei, Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin
Seldin, Allen Nyoshin Steir, Daniel Nyohaku Soergel, Stephen
Nioi Scholle, Jorge Alfano, and
Mutsumi Takamizu on Koto and Shamisen. In addition all Campers will get
two private lessons with the staff members of their choice.
Registration will begin at 10:30AM on Friday, August 14, .2009, and the
Camp will end at 12:00 (noon) on August 17th 2009. Students will be
able to take part in other optional activities such as Za-Zen, and Tai
Chi Chuan. There will be time to schedule additional private lessons
with the guest instructorsThis year we will have the new, highly
recommended (sustainable) cooking of the Northbrook Caterers doing the
Catering for all of our meals.
The 2009 Shakuhachi Camp is a very exciting project and we are very
encouraged by the amount of enthusiasm we have received. We look
forward to sharing this wonderful TakČ no Michi (Path of Bamboo) with a
large fellowship of players from many varied backgrounds.
