NJ-MEA | Everybody Claps, All Cultures, All Ages, All Abilities! with Lillie Feierabend

Clapping games are immediately engaging, language is not even required and yet laughter abounds. You are never too young or too old; they are simply too much fun. But take a closer look; clapping games are profound. They deepen and enrich all the intelligences and are of significant benefit to the development of our mind, body, and spirit. The cooperation required has profound implications on a global scale, as well. Humor, love, kindness and joy are universal. Sharing music with others builds a bridge where we are offered a window into another culture and delighted to find ourselves looking back. A country’s musical culture also offers insight into its history, spirit, and heart. This experience can lead to greater awareness and understanding. This lively session will explore countries and cultures through their clapping games; join us as we meet wonderful people through the gift of their music. The world just might become a kinder, more tolerant place if we all sang, danced, and clapped together.
