DrumatiX
DrumatiX is a Boston-based novel tap dance and percussion group, created by award-winning choreographer, dancer, and musician, Noa Barankin. DrumatiX creates a brand new blend of dance and drumming using: tap dance, everyday objects, large drums/barrels, body percussion, technology, audience interaction, and tons of humor!
The company's mission is to bring audiences closer to the traditional art of tap dance and its roots in body percussion and drumming, thus making a connection between these three genres while showcasing how we can creatively transform and blend them into new, original, imaginative creations.
DrumatiX has performed in venues such as Lincoln Center and Symphony Space (NYC), Clayton Opera House (NY), Rochester Fringe Festival (NY), and in New England in many venues, events, schools and festivals, including the Mosesian Center for the Arts, Strand Theatre, Arts at the Armory, and the lucrative Beantown Tapfest.

Drumming life into the old Opera House...and excitment into the hearts of our TI elementary students! I had the pleasure to attend the DrumatiX show here at the Clayton Opera House accompanying two special ed students. I was initially a bit worried how the student I was with would be able to handle sitting in his seat throughout the whole show considering he is sensitive to sound. However, after only a few minutes it became clear that my worries were completely unfounded as the student took his earmuffs off so he could get more involved in the music. Noa and her troupe are very talented musicians, but more important to me, they do care about their audience and involve them to make sure that they have a wonderful experience. Right from the start they involved the kids in their program making it a fun, interactive performance that I'm sure will leave a lasting impression on all who attended. Thank you so much!!!
