Workshop Be the Beat  with Grant Collins Working together to become the beat Brighton SS A professional, well-constructed workshop that was inspirational for both teachers and students. Bremer SHS One of the world’s most innovative drummers, Grant Collins returns between international and national tours, including the Sydney Opera House and Brisbane’s Powerhouse, to perform for Ontour inschools. Be the Beat is a fully interactive and motivating workshop where students won’t just feel the beat, they become the beat! Students work in groups to learn body percussion beats and dance rhythms in a variety of musical styles, culminating in a dynamic fusion of dance and music in which everyone is a performer. Even more than music, this workshop delves into the importance of cooperation, physical activity and self-confidence.
