With the generous support of the San Francisco Taiko Dojo and Grand Master Seiich Tanaka, Robin Wadsworth joined the NTID Department of Cultural and Creative Studies as a PEN-International Visiting Artist from 1 to 21 February 2004. During that time, Wadsworth provided Taiko lessons to more than 25 NTID students, and faculty and staff members. The culmination of the visit was an evening performance by Wadsworth and his pupils in the NTID Panara Theatre. The performance was attended by more than 100 members of the RIT community.
