SUMMARY:Traditional African Hand Drumming with Helen Bond
DESCRIPTION:Hand drumming has a rich history in Guinea\, West Africa\, dating back to the 13th century. The drum was a central part of everyday life and was used for communication\, religious ceremonies\, and entertainment. \nHelen Bond will share the great joy of traditional hand drumming! Helen has been traveling to Guinea for the past 21 years to study their music and culture. In this class\, you will learn basic rhythms on dunun drums and the djembe accompaniment parts. You will also learn the origins of each rhythm\, receive expert instruction on all instruments in the traditional djembe orchestra and deepen your understanding of the place of music\, dance\, and song in West African life. \nHelen is able to work simultaneously with students of all levels – from beginner to professional. All levels are welcome! Drums will be provided should you not have one. No experience is needed. \n \nDunun drums\, also known as djun-djun drums or talking drums\, are a family of West African bass drums that are played with sticks. They are commonly used in the traditional music of the Malinke people of Mali\, Guinea\, and other parts of West Africa. Dunun drums consist of three to five cylindrical drums of different sizes\, each with a different pitch\, and are typically played in ensembles with other percussion instruments such as the djembe and the balafon. They are often used to provide the bassline in West African music and are known for their deep\, resonant sound. Dunun drums are an important part of the cultural heritage of West Africa and are widely used in both traditional and contemporary music. \nThe djembe\, a rope-tuned skin-covered goblet drum played with bare hands\, is thought to have originated from the Mandinka people in Guinea. The djembe was traditionally played by men and was used to accompany traditional dances and songs. The drum was also used as a tool for communication\, with different rhythms representing different messages. \nToday\, Guinean hand drumming remains popular both within Guinea and around the world. Many musicians and enthusiasts travel to Guinea to study with master drummers and to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Guinean hand drumming.

SUMMARY:HELD TOGETHER: A SHARES MEMOIR OF MOTHERHOOD\, MEDICINE\, AND IMPERFECT LOVE
DESCRIPTION:Seventeen years ago\, when family medicine and public health physician Rebecca Thompson\, MD endured a string of life-threatening pregnancy losses and rare medical conditions\, her training didn’t protect her from feeling isolated and overwhelmed. What she longed for was a community of women—or even one encouraging story—to reassure her that she wasn’t alone. \nDeciding to create the community she couldn’t find in her own time of need\, Thompson reached out to friends\, patients\, and medical colleagues and asked them to share the stories of their personal journeys to parenthood\, as well as stories of how their families grew and changed and thrived as they faced challenges beyond those early years. Her new book\, Held Together: A Shared Memoir of Motherhood\, Medicine\, and Imperfect Love\, explores the intersections of these brave\, resilient women’s lives with Thompson’s own as they encounter a vast range of unexpected turns and obstacles\, including fertility issues\, adoption\, fostering\, surrogacy\, multiples\, abortion\, stepparenthood\, chronic disease\, mental illness\, the death of a child\, the death of a spouse\, and so many moments where grief may threaten to consume us—until joy sometimes surprises us. \nThe extraordinary stories of ordinary women reveal that\, while our individual circumstances may be unique\, our experiences are universal in so many ways: we are creating life\, raising children\, and sustaining families\, even as we search for reassurance that we are not alone in our struggles. Held Together offers a place of healing that welcomes every kind of family\, a refuge where we make meaning out of our stories and embrace the belief that life can be beautiful despite—and often because of—all its complexities and imperfections. Our foundations may not always be strong\, but together\, we are. \nThompson will be in conversation with Kimmery Martin\, MD\, an emergency medicine doctor and author of multiple works of medical fiction. Martin holds a faculty appointment at the Wake Forest School of Medicine\, where she teaches Narrative Medicine. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy Held Together from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Thompson that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:ORDINARY MAGIC: THE SCIENCE OF HOW WE CAN ACHIEVE BIG CHANGE WITH SMALL ACTS
DESCRIPTION:The emotional questions we face can define our lives. If you’re expecting an interaction to go wrong\, that expectation can make it so. That’s spiraling down. But as award-winning Stanford psychologist Greg Walton\, Ph.D. shows in his new book Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts\, when we see these questions clearly\, we can answer them well. Known to social psychologists as wise interventions\, these shifts in perspective can help us chart new trajectories for our lives. They help us spiral up. \nThis is ordinary magic: The ordinary experiences that help us set aside the ordinary worries of life to unleash extraordinary change. Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis of fascinating research—both his own and others’—this science gives us a new vision of what is possible for our relationships\, communities\, institutions\, and the world. Examples of wise interventions include: the few choice words from a parent or a teacher that builds trust and achievement; how learning that everyone feels as out of place at first as you do at a new school—they really do—can unleash extraordinary potential\, improving your life a decade later; how the right opportunity to reflect\, for just a few minutes before a conflict conversation\, can engender greater intimacy among couples—even a year later. \nWalton is the Michael Forman University Fellow and Professor of Psychology and co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab at Stanford University. His research has been covered in major media outlets including The New York Times\, Harvard Business Review\, The Wall Street Journal\, NPR\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, The Washington Post\, The San Francisco Chronicle\, and The Los Angeles Times. \nWalton will be in conversation with Jacqueline Woodson\, an American writer of dozens of books for adults\, children\, and adolescents. She is best known for her National Book Award-winning memoir Brown Girl Dreaming\, and her Newbery Honor-winning titles After Tupac and D Foster\, Feathers\, and Show Way. After serving as the Young People’s Poet Laureate from 2015 to 2017\, Woodson was named the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature by the Library of Congress for 2018–19. She was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 2020. Later that same year\, she was named a MacArthur Fellow. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy Ordinary Magic from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Walton that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Oil & Water
DESCRIPTION:Two seasoned painters (and advertising pros) reunite for an epic clash of the mediums! Armed with slow-drying oils\, one painter creates meticulous\, layered masterpieces that scream\, “I have all the time in the world.” Meanwhile\, his partner in crime is all about the fast-paced life of acrylics\, where bold strokes\, quick decisions\, and a dash of chaos dominate the canvas. Meet Joe Bednarski and Phil Gayter; they’ve spent years sparring over which paint reigns supreme and are ready to throw down the Winsor & Newtons. \nExperience a one-of-a-kind live painting showdown where oil and acrylic mediums collide in a dynamic\, fast-paced art battle filled with humor\, storytelling\, and a splash of creative rivalry. Perfect for art lovers and anyone who enjoys improv and entertainment! \nYou have never seen anything like this before … it’s like watching paint dry—except this time\, it’s exhilarating\, unpredictable\, and anything but dull! \nLocation:  Gorton’s Grotto\, cabaret style with beer\, wine and non-alcoholic beverages for sale. \nWhat to Expect:  A dynamic live painting demo where Joe (oil) and Phil (acrylic) reveal the secrets of their art journeys\, shared advertising past\, globe-trotting escapades\, all while they throw verbal daubings at each other.  \n\nAn hour and a half of insight and merriment\nLive painting session\nQ&A\nA side by side exploration of their artistic differences\n\n\n\n \nJoe Bednarski\nMy art is like if Wes Anderson and Salvador Dalí had a fever dream while binge-watching obscure documentaries. From random chickens that look like they’re about to drop their own mixtape to portraits of people who are either deep in existential crisis or just bored out of their minds\, my art screams\, “I paint things that are too cool for you to understand.” \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \nPhil Gayter\nI have painted forever\, from growing up in Manchester\, England\, through my years of creative\, corporate problem-solving in London and Chicago. I have taught painting\, explored\, shown\, and sold paintings\, but ultimately\, I live for painting. I have works hanging in private collections worldwide and three very special pieces hanging in the hallways of Sinai Hospital in Chicago. I aim to dispel rumors that painting with acrylics is like pulling teeth. \n  \n  \n  \n
