Victoria’s leading Asian performance and workshop provider,

Asia Raya, presents.......

Asia Raya offers full-day incursions of Asian music, dance and martial arts. These are “hands-on” workshops, in class sized groups (20-30 students) and typically go for about 45 minutes each. The dance, musical item or martial art form learned in the workshops may be performed to parents and the whole school at the end of the day, with students in full costume.
Music
Gamelan
An Indonesian gamelan will be brought to your school. Your students will actually learn to play a genuine gamelan song on a genuine gamelan orchestra. Aaron offers gamelan workshops for schools and colleges. Instruments include Saron, Bonang, Bonang penerus, Kendang, Kempul, Kethuk, Kenong and Gong. Enough instruments to seat 20 students at a time. Workshops are adjusted to suit the particular age level of the students.
• Upper Primary & Secondary students will actually learn to play a genuine gamelan song
• Mid Primary will learn a simplified version
• Juniors will experiment with the fascinating sounds that the instruments make, to create their own patterns.
You will be amazed at what can be achieved by your students in a limited time.

Drumming


West Javanese style drumming workshops (kendang Sunda). The scintillating rhythms of West Java can be explored by your students. We bring a class set of drums.

Dance

Students will learn one of the interesting dances from Asia. We specialize in the dances of Indonesia, China and Thailand. From Indonesia we have the Deer Dance, the Mask Dance or the Candle Dance. From China we have the Umbrella dance, the Ribbon Dance or the Fan Dance, and from Thailand we have the Rice Offering Dance and the Circle Dance.

Martial arts

Your students can learn either Pencak Silat (from Indonesia), Tai Chi (from China) or karate (from Japan).

Costing and contact

A full day incursion cost $530.00 per facilitator, + GST, plus travel, which depends on where your school is situated. Schools within 100 km radius of Bendigo are free. A travel component of $50.00 is added for every further 50 km from Bendigo. The travel component for schools within the metropolitan region is rated at $100.00 for schools in the Northern and Western Metropolitan Region, and $150.00 for schools in the Southern and Eastern Metropolitan Region.
For example a school of in the NMR would incur a cost of $530.00 + $100.00 (travel) + GST of $63.00 = $693.00.
For two facilitators to come and run workshops simultaneously, the cost would be $1060.00 + $100.00 (travel) + GST of $116.00 = $1276.00.
