Workshop | Discover the Healing Power of Blues & Jazz Music
This event is an interactive workshop titled "How the Wail of the Blues & the Cacophony of Jazz Culminate in the Healing Communal Ritual of Sinners." It explores the powerful themes of intra-communal healing inherent in the musical genres of blues and jazz,--emerging from the lived realities of African American communities--have served as powerful vehicles for expressing grief, resistance, resilience, and spiritual renewal. Attendees will trace these genres back to their roots in African ritual traditions, where music was inseparable from healing, memory, and community. By referencing the film Sinners, the group will uncover how the raw emotion of Delta blues and the improvisational complexity of jazz reflect a deeper spiritual lineage--connecting Black cultural expression to ancestral practices of collective care and liberation. Through facilitated dialogue, interactive discussion, curated song and sound examples, participants will experience, explore, and gain a deeper understanding on how these traditional musical forms function not only as art, but as sacred technologies for survival and spiritual transformation. This interactive workshop is a unique perspective on the cultural and therapeutic significance of blues and jazz rooted in African Diasporic traditions.

Workshop | Midtown Photography Workshop: Shoot with Flash Like a Pro
Are you afraid of flash? Do you break into a cold sweat when someone mentions sync speed? Do you think “HSS” stands for “Help, Send Snacks”? Then this is the workshop for you! JC Carey of Westcott and JCPhotoMedia - a man who believes the only thing brighter than a properly exposed portrait is a student having an aha moment—takes attendees on a hands-on photowalk through the dazzling chaos of Midtown Manhattan. Along the way, you’ll harness the power of Westcott Lighting gear and conquer the dark art (okay, well-lit art) of High-Speed Sync Flash Photography. This isn’t your grandma’s photography class—unless she’s a lighting nerd too, in which case, bring her along. JC will walk you through the basics of HSS with equal parts knowledge, enthusiasm, and questionable jokes. You’ll learn how to overpower the sun, shoot wide open in the middle of the day, and stop motion like a photography ninja. Bonus points if you do it without dropping your camera in Times Square. Whether you're just starting out or still think the pop-up flash is a good idea (spoiler: it’s not), this class will help you ditch the fear and shoot with flash like a pro. Bring your camera. Bring your curiosity. Leave your fear at home. Because after this walk, you won’t just take flash photos—you’ll make ‘em sing.
