SUMMARY:Samite: Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Samite: Resilience\nSaturday\, November 23 @ 1PM | Donna M. Morris Theater\nSaturday\, November 23 @ 7PM | Donna M. Morris Theater\nTickets $25 – $50 Adults\, $15 Youth CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS \nBeautiful\, powerful\, personal and musical – “Resilience” is a play with the urgency of now combined with timeless stories of healing. \nInternationally recognized musician\, humanitarian\, and artists Samite tells his life’s story in this multi-media one-man play. He tells the story of his emergence from the nightmare of life under Amin and Milton Obote (“… when the birds stopped singing”) to being a healer through the power of music. \nSamite often includes a story or two in his concerts\, but now he has turned his entire presentation inside out and the result is raw and bracing. Both performances of this show include an extended post-performance Q&A for authentic audience connection. \n \n  \n“Rhythmic beats\, floating melodies and impactful lyrics are the main components needed to create African music. These are also the elements Ugandan musician Samite Mulondo uses to spread hope\, healing and peace around the world.” – Grand Valley Lanthorn \n“Resilience is about blending beautiful traditional African music with stories of hope and tolerance. Sharing difficult topics\, Samite opened the doors for the us to gain new knowledge and empathy with grace and sensitivity. Music definitely heals – A must see!” – Karen Wacks\, (LMHC\, M.Ed.\, MT-BC) Professor of Music Therapy\, Berklee College of Music \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nThe world-renowned musician Samite was born and raised in Uganda\, where his grandfather taught him to play the traditional flute. \nWhen he was twelve\, a music teacher placed a western flute in his hands setting him on his way to becoming one of East Africa’s most acclaimed flutists. He performed frequently to enthusiastic audiences throughout Uganda until 1982\, when he was forced to flee to Kenya as a political refugee. Samite immigrated to the United States in 1987\, and now he and his wife Sandra make their home on their small horse farm in upstate New York. \nWhen he is not touring\, Samite finds inspiration from their horses\, Shadow and Thyme\, photography and woodworking. Today his smooth vocals accompanied by the kalimba\, marimba\, litungu\, and various flutes mesmerize audiences throughout the world. \nSamite has released eleven CDs internationally and in 2009\, the film Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai\, which features his original score\, debuted nationally on PBS. Samite released My Music World\, in 2010 and\, as he states\, the album captures more of who he is than any of his previous albums. “It represents influences from all the places I have been\, from my childhood in Uganda\, and my life in Kenya as a refugee\, to my current travels in Africa with my work for Musicians for World Harmony. I am always inspired by my surroundings– my childhood hikes into the forest\, my teenage years in Kampala\, and my visits to refugee camps and orphanages.” In 2012\, Samite composed the soundtrack for the film Addiction Incorporated and his ninth CD\, Trust {Inspired by the soundtrack for the film “Addiction Incorporated”} was  released in that year.  Samite has recently released his tenth CD\, “Another Side of Me” (available on this website) and he is currently working on another CD to be released later this year. \nSamite is the subject of the documentary\, Song of the Refugee\, distributed by PBS in 1998. It was while filming this that Samite’s work as a humanitarian began.  In 2002\, he founded Musicians for World Harmony\, an organization dedicated to enabling musicians throughout the world to share their music to promote peace\, understanding\, and harmony among people. In that capacity he travels to sing\, play music\, and exchange stories with victims of war\, poverty and HIV/AIDS.  He has traveled extensively the war-torn and distressed countries of Uganda\, Kenya\, Congo\, Rwanda\, Tanzania\, Latvia\, Liberia and Cote d’Ivoire to work in refugee camps\, with former child soldiers and AIDS orphans. \nIn his role as Founding Director of Musicians for World Harmony\, Samite is fortunate to bring his message of peace to a wide audience. He performed his arrangement of the traditional Baganda song\, Ani Oyo for The Dalai Lama in 2007 during Bridging Worlds with His Holiness The Dalia Lama in Ithaca\, NY. In 2009 he performed at “Connecting For Change\,” part of the 2009 Vancouver Peace Summit: Nobel Laureates in Dialogue\, hosted by the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education. \nIn the fall of 2011\, Samite performed and spoke at the UNHCR 60th Anniversary Celebration in New York City. More recently Samite collaborated with the filmmakers of “Alive Inside\,” an award-winning documentary on the power of music to awaken the memories locked away in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.  This film and Samite’s subsequent place on Dr. Bill Thomas’ 2014 “Second Wind Tour\,” have cemented the natural progression of the work that Samite does with Musicians for World Harmony.  This direction\, of an increased focus on working with seniors and dementia patients\, evolved into a collaboration between MWH and Dr. Bill Thomas for his “Age of Disruption Tour” in 2016 and 2017. Samite and Musicians for World Harmony continue to bring the healing power of music into communities in upstate New York and around the country- working with young and old alike. \nIn the Spring of 2018\, Samite finished recording his eleventh CD\, Resilience -and it was released on September 14\, 2018.  He also completed two years of work with directors at Saint Joseph University on the theatrical performance of the same name which had its World Premiere on March 23\, 2018 in Hartford\, CT.  Samite is now touring Lessons of Humanity and Resilience\, his one-man theater performances and his compelling show\, The Story of Mutoto\, in which he connects the stories of his childhood in Uganda to his trips to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in western Uganda and the plight of the endangered Silverback Mountain Gorillas.

SUMMARY:Ten Years After: A Photo-Journey of the Elwha
DESCRIPTION:August 5 @ 6PM | Ten Years After: A Photo Journey of the Elwha\nBook Release Event with John Gussman\nSunset Bar & Lounge open 5PM – 9PM\nClick here to RSVP for this event \nJoin Field Hall and local photographer John Gussman for a book release event and First Fed Community Conversation surrounding his new book\, Ten Years After. \nTen Years After showcases the changes on the Elwha River during dam removal. At the time (2010 to 2014)\, the removal of two working dams was the largest dam removal in history. August 26\, 2024\, marks ten years since the completion of dam removal. The hand-picked images in this book came from the thousands of images that John Gussman photographed during that time period. The book includes many photos not previously published. Ten Years After contains 60 pages of full-color photographs in 8.5″ x 11″ soft cover format. Order your copy and own a part of history. John will hand sign every book sold at this event. \nThis event will take place in the Sunset Lounge. Space is limited; please RSVP.  \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nAfter getting a degree in photography\, John Gussman began working full time in 1973 as a staff photographer for a newspaper in the bay area. Moving to Washington State in 1979 to be closer to wilderness\, and with Olympic National Park as his backyard\, he began to photograph this new natural playground. \nIn 1982 John began his own business\, Doubleclick Productions\, and found he had a natural talent for photographing architecture and other commercial location work. It was consistent work to pay the bills\, always an important factor to the self employed. After doing that for over three decades\, John has come full circle in his career and now focuses most of his attention capturing landscapes\, people and adventure\, wildlife\, and the outdoor lifestyle. John has an extensive collection of stock images and video centered around the Olympic Peninsula as well as other geographic areas. With his intimate knowledge of the Olympic Peninsula natural environment\, he provides location services for commercial clients looking to film in the area. \nAlways looking for ways to push the boundaries for new perspectives\, John has worked since 2015 using UAV drones for both stills and video\, as well as aerial mapping work. He is FAA licensed and is insured to fly any commercial application for clients. \nWorking locally and abroad\, John is actively doing projects to help tell the stories of companies\, non-profits\, and environmental organizations to help tell the story of the planet.

SUMMARY:First Fed Community Conversation: Documentary "Screenagers" in partnership with Port Angeles Healthy Youth Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 18th @ Field Hall: First Fed Community Conversation: Documentary “Screenagers” in partnership with Port Angeles Healthy Youth Coalition\nFREE EVENT – Please click here to RSVP \nField Arts & Events Hall is excited to host a screening of the documentary SCREENAGERS and post-show First Fed Community Conversation surrounding the effects of screen time on kids. This event is presented in partnership with Port Angeles Heathy Youth Coalition with support from the Washington State Health Care Association and Prevention Works! \nThe Field Hall lower Pat Donlin Lobby and upstairs Sunset Lounge will open at 4:30PM on Tuesday\, June 18th for a pre-show community showcase with our presenting partners. SCREENAGERS screening begins at 5:30PM in the Donna M. Morris Theater. Stay for a post-screening discussion in the theater. This event is free – please RSVP. \nAre you watching kids scroll through life\, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time—friction she knew all too well. \nIn SCREENAGERS\, as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health\, Delaney takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life\, including her own\, to explore struggles over social media\, video games\, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant\, and unexpectedly funny stories\, along with surprising insights from authors\, psychologists\, and brain scientists\, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance. \n\n\n\n\n\nPhysician and filmmaker\, Delaney Ruston decided to make SCREENAGERS when she found herself constantly struggling with her two kids about screen time. Ruston felt guilty and confused\, not sure what limits were best\, especially around mobile phones\, social media\, gaming\, and how to monitor online homework. Hearing repeatedly how other parents were equally overwhelmed\, she realized this is one of the biggest\, unexplored parenting issues of our time. \nAs a director\, Ruston turned the camera on her own family and others—revealing stories of messy struggles over social media\, video games\, academics and internet addiction.  We meet Hannah\, a 14-year old victim of social media bullying who struggled trying to hide her social media use from her mom. And Andrew\, whose love of video games turned into an addiction taking him from earning straight A’s to flunking out of college. \nInterwoven into these stories\, are cutting edge science and insights from thought leaders Peggy Orenstein\, Sherry Turkle\, Simon Sinek\, as well as leading brain scientists who present evidence on the real changes in the brain when kids are on screens. SCREENAGERS goes far beyond exposing the risks of screen time\, it reveals multiple approaches on how parents and educators can work with kids to help them achieve a healthy amount of screen time. \nParents are encouraged to bring their kids to the movie.
