What is "Junkband"

Junkband is a great way to highlight the benefits of looking at "rubbish" in a new and creative way.  We take the ordinary throwaway things and put them to rhythmical use.  A carton becomes a shaker, a sink becomes a drum, curtain rods and pipe insulation become beaters.  Apt Theatre will show your students/colleagues that almost anything can be used to create a coherant, musical rhythm.  Drawing on great rhythms and sounding like a carnival in your venue, Apt's professional percussionists will take your students on a rhythmical journey.
