Can 1000 people who just met, make music together? | Rhythm Interactive | TEDxTauranga

A 1000 drums at the ready. No one really knew what to expect. Those that thought "I don't have any rhythm in my body" or "not sure if I want to do this" soon found out otherwise.
John entered singing and then proceeded to conduct the audience to hum, clap, drum, sing and generally make a noise.
By removing all dialogue from the show, makes people focus by having to listen and look. The audience had to be in the present moment to connect with what was happening around them and created magic.
John Boone and Lucie Feenstra combine to form Rhythm Interactive. Rhythm is a pulse, it’s a beat, a frequency wavelength, it's something we can feel, something that makes us react and for people to connect to.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
