Poetry in Motion (Grades K-8)
Poetry in Motion is a revival of the almost lost art of performing
poetry. This exhilarating tour de force brings to life the best of
poetic literature. David's one-man show synthesizes his more than
30 years of experience as an actor, director, playwright, teacher and
mime, and packs it all into an old steamer trunk brimming with
props, costumes, masks and puppets. With these, David introduces
his cast of characters drawn from the world's best children's poems.
The audience participates actively on the journey. Length: 45
minutes
Single Performance: $1000
