One of this campus's best kept secrets is coming up this Saturday at the Logan Center: a Family Saturday, an afternoon of free cultural activities for children and families.
It's almost bizarre (or, intentional?) how poorly advertised these events are, given their high quality.
Here is the schedule of the Family workshops offered at Logan this Saturday. They are free, but you are advised to register in advance, which you can do by following the link to each one.
Family Folks and Songs with Mama Zahra
2-3pm, Logan Center, Room 603
Parents and children can sing, stomp, and sway together to traditional songs, chants, finger-plays and rhythms, with folk singer and teaching artist Mama Zahra.
Suitable for families with children ages 2-5. Maximum capacity: 15
"Musical Mind Games" with South Side Suzuki
3:15-4:15pm Logan Center, Room 603
Through a series of colorful and creative games, children will learn the fundamentals of music theory, including reading simple rhythms, understanding the music staff, and singing the notes of the musical alphabet.
Appropriate for ages 6-11; maximum Capacity: 15
Camp DJ with DJ Mastermix Academy
3:15-4:14pm Logan Center, Gidwidtz Lobby
Join the DJ Mastermix Academy as families get hands on experience with learning the basic essentials to DJing with standard turntables and video technology.
Appropriate for ages 7-11. Maximum Capacity: 20
Oh, and there’s also an event that you have to pay for, which looks good, but I think I will stick to the free workshops.
Eth-Noh-Tec Storytellers
Family Matinee March 22, 2pm; Logan Center Performance Hall
Nancy Wang and Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo of Eth-Noh-Tec weave music, dance, and rhythmic dialogue, to inspire the imagination and to bring their stories alive. Run time: 60 minutes. Appropriate for ages 6 and up. Tickets: $10 General, $5 Children under 17

Thanks for posting this! It looks like great fun and I wouldn't have known about it otherwise. I do wish these events were better advertised.
