Be ONE with the DRUM!

TAIKO ROCKS! (Japanese Drumming Performance and Workshops): More than just an instrument…Taiko drumming is about bringing together communities and sharing experiences that emphasize the significance of diversity and cultural exchange. Through learning Taiko, we develop one heart, one sound, one drum; even when there is more than one drum being played.  Join us for this amazing demonstration on Wednesday, July 18^th at 6:30 brought to you by Hokuto Taiko Dojo, New Hampshire’s one and only Japanese drumming school.  

As an added musical and cultural bonus, school aged youth may register for a workshop following the show starting at 7:00 PM, while adults and older teens have opportunity for a workshop at 6:00 PM.  Think of it this way, it’s a drumming sandwich!  Workshop at 6, show at 6:30, workshop at 7.  Each portion requires individual registration online, over the phone, or in person.  Don’t miss this rockin’ experience!

For more information about the school and some ‘pre-performance’ history, you may visit https://www.hokutotaikodojo.com.

This exciting performance and workshop opportunity is paid for by The Friends of Kimball Library and The Atkinson Recreation Department in collaboration with the Kimball Library.

OODLES OF DOODLES ROCK: Zen Doodle–oodles of doodles set to music—gel pens, fine point sharpies, pointy bright colored pencils, and YOU.  If you like adult coloring, doodling, or hanging with friends who love casual art and music then this event was made for you.

We will have supplies, but if you are already a fan of Zentangle and adult coloring, bring all your cool stuff! We’d love to see what you’re working on. Register t/weens entering grades 5 & up.  INVITE FRIENDS. 

Cheez Doodles served.  Obviously.

JAPAN ROCKS: Come 'ROCK' with Japan. We LOVE kites and this will be the perfect time to make one. Eat pocky sticks and tasty lettuce wraps. Yum! Play Catching Seven Pieces and hear a Japanese tale.  Register the kiddos entering kindergarten through grade 5 in the fall of 2018.  This multicultural event is happening on Monday, July 16^th, at 6:30 PM.
