"Mark – Wow! What can we say!! I have had numerous emails and calls saying how fabulous the event was. The energy it created and the opportunity for everyone to come together from our warehouse staff through to our directors, being given the chance to express themselves in this way was brilliant! We had two deaf people attend the session (one partially deaf and Toni who is totally deaf) it was wonderful to see how Tony followed your direction and became part of the magnificent performance that was achieved. In closing I would have to say to anyone considering this event this is something you cannot gauge from a flyer or even a video, you simply have to take that leap of faith that Human Rhythms will create a spectacular crescendo to any conference that will be talked about for years to come!"

"These guy's were an absolute blast! Who else would attempt to make music with 340 early Childhood conference delegates? I couldn't speak more highly of Mark and his amazing team - our conference would not have been the same without them!!!!"

"Just a quick note to say thanks a million for the drumming workshop. Everyone loved it and the “pick me up when I lose the beat” concept will be a huge help in the workplace. We really appreciate you taking the time to make some noise with us – you made the weekend extra special – thank you."

"We used your services to achieve a supporting
objective of providing a short opportunity for the workshop participants (VODAFONE)
to engage in a collective and fun activity that was different but engaging. This
objective was achieved with great success. Creating music – even for those who immediately
declared they were musically challenged – created an extraordinary level of energy
and communication. Everyone quickly realised that in unfamiliar situations they
could work with their new peers and achieve results they never expected."

Big W
"It
was such an amazing sight to walk into the conference room and see 260 drums placed
around the room, three drummers encouraging us to find a space and follow their
beat. Soon the entire Management Team of Big W was rhythmically and harmoniously
creating awesome music together. This synergistic activity was the significant event
with which to officially close the conference. The experience that we all went through
with the drumming was very real and experiential and as a result even a month after
the conference, people are still making reference to the experience and how awesome
a learning experience it was."

It’s hard to imagine that two people can guide three
hundred people through a series of simple beats without any verbal communication.
The synergy in the room was unbelievable. The feedback from our managers "When
can we do it again!" Thanks again for assisting us in demonstrating the power
of synergy." Frank McManus, Director National Training

performance was filled with creative energy which overflowed into our audience of

"Once
again, the activity was extremely well received and it effectively (almost instantly)
created unity amongst our team members. Due to the nature of the exercise every
member of the team was as important as the next and at the same time dependant on
the next. I was once again impressed by the enthusiasm of the staff towards this
fresh form of teambuilding. Most importantly, it was great fun and left us feeling
energised and re-vitalised."

People
said how fantastic it was and really enjoyed the chance to muck up a little and
have fun. Here are a few quotes from Yamaha Staff: "It relieved tension, was
fun and I didn't find myself waiting for it to be finished!" "A great
release at the end of the day." "I really enjoyed the fact that you could
just have fun as a group." "It was different and it was great to see everyone
involved!" "It was great that the activity involved all 80 of us and we
weren't restricted to teams." "Amazing what you can achieve with out speaking
and directing people with out words but rather through visual instructions and encouragement...
we could all learn from that in business." Jeorgina Smart, Yamaha Music Australia

"Having your group perform just before the final
match between Lleyton Hewitt & Peter Overton and Andrew Florent & Ben Tari
was just fantastic. I could not believe that 5 people with drums could make such
an impact in the huge space of the Olympic Tennis venue, and at the same time hold
the attention of approx. 8,000 people. You managed to build the excitement of the
crowd, who responded so well and enjoyed joining in on this amazing rhythm experience.
This succeeded in building the crowd to an excited frenzy, which erupted into zealous
clapping when the players came on court. The atmosphere was unreal!" Ida MacCarthy,
NSW Event Co-ordinator

Human Rhythms was an extremely positive and fun-filled
event for all involved. We were able to be skilfully drawn into a game of "follow
the leader" creating beautiful music and evoking energy out of everyone. It
was amazing how well we could interact together without using verbal communication.
The cohesiveness that was created, the concentration applied, the enthusiasm shown
and the resultant variety of rhythms created was testament to a truly professionally
organised event that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Ron Domagalski, General Manager

The
first day went very well and everyone was very surprised that they could make music
with glasses and cups on the table. It was a great taster for the next day. The
Friday was a huge success and even those who were skeptical before have come to
me and said how impressed they were. It was fantastic fun and certainly lifted the
spirits of our marketing department - one of our objectives for the day. We always
ask for feedback and we are currently collating this but most of the forms I have
seen thus far rate the Human Rhythm experience a 5 out of 5! So thank you again.

As
Convenor of the Australian Association of Career Counsellors conference at the Hotel
Sofitel in Melbourne, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mickey and Human
Rhythms to surprise and enthral our 280 delegates after two days of cerebral work.
All through my discussions with Mickey, I was touched by his enthusiasm to contribute
to our conference and his excitement about the possibilities. I ended up being truly
sorry that we couldn't allow Human Rhythms the whole afternoon. Mickey's thorough
professionalism was plainly evident, with Mickey and equipment arriving exactly
on schedule. Feedback from the delegates indicated their appreciation of the activity
and many rated this session the best of the conference! It was no mean feat to have
all the delegates (average age over 40) moving and shaking around the large plenary
hall, but all voted with their feet, joining in the swing of things. In fact, it
was quite a challenge for the next speaker to follow on from such a fun time.

Conference, Melbourne 2002
