Tania Bosak is a percussionist, vocalist, theatre worker and dancer.
She studied performing arts and dance at Deakin University and went on to train as an actor at the John Bolton Theatre School. She began working in television and film and with various touring street theatre groups, including The Hunting Party, and Gonghouse, but it was when she performed with STOMP in 1992, that rhythm became IT!
She went on to study African dance and drumming in Senegal, Indian Classical Dance in India as well as various drumming styles in the USA and Australia including, Haitian, Brazilian and Cuban percussion and in 2004 was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study drum and dance in Korea.
After 10 years of intensive training in the USA and Vienna, Tania qualified as an Advanced TA KE TI NA Rhythm Facilitator studying with founder Reinhard Flatischler and Cornelia Flatischler, who she is bringing to Australia in 2008.
She is active as a band leader with her groups Velika Buka (MELB), Rektango and The Moods Band (TAS), and is currently working director Bagryana Popov on a solo drum dance - Korean Balkan - epic story telling work!
She was musical director and live composer with Jethro Woodward for the Melbourne Fringe show, NOT DEAD YET. The show was a RAWCUS and BORN IN A TAXI collaboration, which was awarded the most outstanding production of the Melbourne Fringe 2005.
She continues to work in theatre and teaches actors in training at Victoria University, and in 2002 established her own integrated drum teaching method PULSE DRUM.
Tania has toured with Chamber Made Opera's PHOBIA as actor and drummer.
She also directed the Tasmanian music/theatre work, THE TANK by Steve and Mick Thomas, which has been touring since 2000.
Tania along with BUG will be opening up a venue over the summer in Hobart, LA PIAZZA '10 Nights in the Courtyard' ..stay tuned.
And finally the bit I usually leave out...
I was a stand up comic in the early 90's for three years, yes three years, and I even got paid.

WHO I WOULD LIKE TO MEET?
Just people who play drums.
No, kidding. A sense of humour would be good, curious, interesting folk.
Scientists who can explain string theory so I get it!
Someone who has actually read 'Guns, Germs and Steel' from start to finish.
Muso, Ta Ke Ti Na, and theatre friends from around the world and in Footscray, who I don't see enough of.
I saw that!! first i thought they may have photoshoped it out but then i realised you suffered to look good.. but you look completely hot.. though would have been funny if you didnt suffer for your art ahahahah.
We finish up post in December...So new life ahead back in Oztralia...Pop in if you are in the south east of Asia before December. Otherwise, lets catch up in Melbourne in summer time. x x x
yeah I'm looking into the modeling and movie scene up here Also getting back into hairdressing too And also looking into photography I seem to have a nack for it haha
Hi Tania. Hope you are well. Best wishes with the music. Hope it's going great! Yes. I am originally from Portugal many years back (came here to Aus' as a baby and spent most of my time in Sydney before moving to Byron 4 years back). Take care. Blessings.
Hey! What's goin' on? Sorry I have taken so long to get back to you... still working on this material. Some of it should appear on MySpace by the end of the year I suppose. Hope all is well!
We are still in Bangkok...We are here until the end of this year, which will make it a four year posting...and...the last year and a half have been great. I found the arts community! I've been playing in a rock band with this fab Japanese musician called Momoko. Have a look at the new film clip.
and just about to open a cabaret show where I will be hosting as my dead German transvestite character. Are you popping by South East Asia by any chance? Come and stay!
you havent learnt have you, i never know what i am doing that far ahead! ; ) i am not sure where i will be, but probably melbourne. In which case I could come down for some. What you thinking?
you almost sound demanding! sorry, no can do, wont be back till mid august. Are they really that redundant? I will be happy never to see those bloody stands again! Turned me off woodworking. I am going well, am going to record an album second half of this year which I look forward to, im keen to get more into film composing, and have a friend who i plan to work with. my course finishes in three weeks as well so it will be nice to be off a computer for a while too. Darwin is great! Hope you are going well, whats news?
dear Tania-- you are extra wonderful! Is there anything you can't do? In the new photo you look like you're flying-- its fantastic. peace and blessings from David.
Hey Bosakal! Great to watch you on that video doing the korean drumming! Are they my crappy stands that you are using that are wobbling all over the place? Or were they deemed redundant through poor workmanship? Hope your going well. See you soon. rob.
