Project Overview
This totally interactive music program designed for children and families brought out some great crowds. At Waseca, the summer school attended as a field trip and it was great to see these kids, in particular, enjoy the program. Every child at the show got an opportunity to dance, jump, move, and be a part of the concert. The children from the audience were invited to come “on stage” and lead the group. Throughout the concert, audience members were invited to have a turn with puppets, instruments, costumes and dancing until everyone in the crowd had had a chance to be a leader. This Minnesota singer/storyteller’s upbeat music inspired young children, school-aged children, and families to move, create, and listen.
