Slavic Village | Youth and Families
Fasi is an accomplished musician with an emphasis on percussion. Her talents and dedication to children and adults go beyond performing and teaching; her connection to her students guides them to understand that “art is for creating not destroying,” and through the art of African drumming, she has positively impacted her family and community. Fasi began a partnership with The Old Landmark Christian Ministries in Slavic Village to use one of their facilities. Once the building is refurbished, programs would include woodworking to teach making African Drums as well as household items such as chairs, kitchen cupboards; arts and crafts; workshops, theater, and dance. The auditorium and stage for would be used productions. She was the co-founder and Artistic Director of the Imani African American Dance Ensemble, presenting workshops and performances consisting of dance, African drums and theater. A former “Artist in Residence” in Travis County, Austin, Texas, Fasi matriculated from Case Western Reserve University as a dance major; is a certified TEFL Instructor, Maximo Nivel, San Jose, Costa Rica; and attended the University of Legon, Ghana, West Africa for African Drums and Dance.
