Laura Dakin
The Balloon Diva
HOW TO CATCH A MOUSE
Learning about science is fun? Absolutely! The mechanics
of simple machines are explained while constructing the
world's coolest mousetrap out of balloons with the aid of
audience volunteers. A long-standing hit in New York, this
show is not to be missed. For more information about this
show, see www.HowToCatchAMouse.com.
READING ADVENTURE
A mad scientist creates a balloon monster! A dragon
attacks! You never know what might happen when the
Diva and her audience actors spice up a plot with balloon
costumes and props. Children's stories are transformed
into balloon theater while the excitement of reading is
emphasized throughout the performance.
BALLOON FACTORY
The art of balloon sculpting has been around for centuries,
even before rubber was invented in the 19th century.
Really! In this hour-long balloon twisting workshop, Laura
teaches kids and adults how to make fantastic wearable
creations. This workshop is a fun and informative introduction
to this unusual art form.
At a time when Game Boy Games, Nintendos and other video
and computer games capture hours of attention from our children,
I was so pleased to see over one hundred kids mesmerized
by your talents.
