UPCOMING ASSEMBLIES AND FIELD TRIP OPPORTUNITIES

ALL SCHOOL YEAR - MASK THEATER! BimBamBop School Assembly

"BimBamBop" Mask-theater with whimsical and indescribable characters and creatures, which delight, tickle, and entertain school audiences. This performance takes from its internationally acclaimed show FROGZ. The moment the music starts the excitement of mask performance begins. Children laugh as they witness masks coming to life. Performers skillfully perform charming creatures and characters, and volunteers are invited to participate in a mask improvisation. This fun and educationally creative performance enriches children's lives by giving them an opportunity to experience the power of theater and the universal qualities of mask theatre. The program closes with a question-and-answer session where students are invited to discuss how Imago creates illusion, and how masks have been used in various cultures throughout time. The shared experience when children laugh is truly magical. Theater is a social event that instills in each individual a sense of humanity. This exposure may be the initial step toward a lifelong involvement in the arts. "BimBamBop" is appropriate and accessible for all ages, languages and levels of ability.

"Imago Theatre's lively varied program of genuinely inventive theatrics provides true aesthetic pleasure and truly goofy fun...makes you realize you see such magic every day, and reminds you to pay attention when you do. I can't think of a better way to introduce my son to the rewards of art." The Boston Globe
