DrumatiX, led by Israeli artist Noa Barankin, blends tap, body percussion, creative drumming, and tech in high-energy, interactive and family-friendly performances and workshops.

DrumatiX will present "Rhythm Delivered", a family-friendly and humor-infused performance of tap dance, body percussion, drumming, audience interaction, and technology. The program is based on time, rhythm, a never-ending pulse. The pieces are connected by musical and movement motifs that reappear over the span of the performance.
