Hobey Ford turns to the natural world of animals to explore the <br /> wonders of migration as they are learned through the eyes of a child making her own <br /> migratory journey. Hobey's animal "Foamies" are performed behind a projection of <br /> original animated scenes, taking the audience along with Beatriz on the journey of these <br /> incredible creatures. Hobey performs in full view as storyteller, puppeteer & animator in <br /> a seamless and almost hypnotic dance between the puppeteer, puppets & original <br /> artistic scenery. <br /> Curriculum Connections: Literary Arts, Storytelling, Theater, Visual Arts, Science, <br /> Multicultural Themes <br /> Ken Waldman: Alaska's Fiddling Poet <br /> March 19-23, 2018 (2 shows at $750.00 each) <br /> Ken Waldman, "Alaska's Fiddling Poet" (Caucasian), is a former Creative Writing <br /> professor who has found his calling in performing for children all around the country. <br /> While his specialty is writing, programs also include lessons in geography, math, critical <br /> thinking, and music. Ken's program invites the audience to work collaboratively with him <br /> to create poetry about their everyday thoughts and actions, and then sets the poetry to <br /> music in an exciting fiddling performance. <br /> Curriculum Connections: Language Arts, Music Education <br /> 8.
