Plumas ,arts provides an ex-
traordinary cultural opportu-
nity to Piumas County during
Earth Week. From April' 20 to
22, Shasta Taiko, from the
neighboring northern Cascade
Mountains, will provide a res-
idency in Plumas County
schools and two public perfor-
mances with very low-priced
admission.-
Shasta Taiko is a nonprofit
cultural organization whose
purpose is to introduce, teach,
develop, promote and pre-
serve the art of taiko and relat-
ed music and arts. Taiko
means "drum" in Japanese
(etymologically "great" or
"wide drum"). Outside Japan,
the word is often used to refer
to any of the various Japanese
drums, "wa-daiko," and to the
relatively recent art form of
ensemble taiko drumming
(sometimes called, more
specifically, "kumi-daiko").
The performances can last be-
tween five and 25 minutes and
typically follow a jo-ha-kyu
(beginning, middle, end/
rapid, sudden, urgent and
emergency) structure, which
means the performance will
speed up significantly towards
the grand finale.
Shasta Taiko provides ongo-
ing classes and maintains a
performing group to give edu-
cational demonstrations and
public performances as well
as special workshop training
to international audiences and
an annual taiko festival. Its
seventh annual Shastayama
Festival takes place Saturday,
July 30, at Shastice Park in
Mt. Shasta. It was also one of
the first Taiko groups to offer
instruction tO women and
non-Asians.
"Frsnkly, in the current
economy, Plumas Arts would
be hard pressed to bring these
artists to local stages," explains
Plumas Arts Director Roxanne
Valladao. "We work very hard
to get grants to be able to afford
the artist fees to keep a high
caliber of artist coming to
Plumas County to bring the
best of the outside world to our
door and to inspire us. Thanks
to ... past -- and hopefully
future -- awards (we have aa
application pending) from the
James Irvine Foundation -- as
well as a number of performing
arts patrons -- we have an
enviable performing arts
program for our area and our
size."

The final workshop, titled
Home Brewing 101, features
local beer aficionado Dale
Ready. He will share his love
for hops and grains in this
practical workshop, which is
"This has become a particu-
larly poignant presentation
g~en the current situation in
Japan after the earthquake,
tsunami and nuclear disas-
ters," adds Valladao. "It has
become a very appropriate,
and certainly unforeseen, way
to celebrate one of the tradi-
tions of such a significant
world culture."
Public performances will
take place Wednesday, April 20,
at the Town Hall Theatre right
after the annual Earth Day Sus-
tainability Awards. The group
will also perform at The
