Beat the Drum | 2002-Present

"a heartbeat celebration"

In 2002 Ward organized the first Beat the Drum circle at La Tierra de la Culebra, bringing together performers from various drumming traditions. Collectively, the group creates a sonic environment that celebrates the drum as a universal symbol of exchange through its emulation of the human heart. 

Beat the Drum has been performed at the Craft and Folk Art Museum and the Ford Amphitheater.
