A MESSAGE FROM RAS:

“My practice brings together laughter and music, and helps people to release tension, and enjoy shared experiences which build stronger communities. The impacts are powerful,” says Ras.

“Laughter is good for everyone and it’s contagious. Sometimes people are a bit unsure when they first arrive, but it doesn’t take long for them to relax into the experience and let go of their worries. Combining laughter with the power of percussion has a positive impact on both body and mind.”
