Performance Description

Students of all ages are entertained and educated by an exciting Renaissance-style show that combines juggling, music, poetry, pantomime, character-acting, and audience participation. Solo and duo performances are offered. In the duo performance, Nicolo and the Queen of Whimsey combine words and movement into an exciting variety show that teaches the value of cooperation, perseverance, and a positive attitude toward work and learning. Highlights include a volunteer-assisted depiction of Leonardo Da Vinci's flying machine. In the solo performance, Nicolo the Jester delights younger students with his juggling, storytelling, and poetry. His comic character and witty wordplay encourage students to have fun with words. Nicolo's stories and poems include themes of literacy and tolerance. Workshops are available.
