Colonial Summer Children's Series presents: Accidance
Is it theater? Is it dance? Is it circus? It's all of these and more. It's a performance for now - a new way of looking at creative thinking and how we can use it in our daily lives. In Accidance/Motion 360, Tim Latta (formerly of Pilobolus, Momix, Faustwork) uses stilts, masks, roller blades, and found objects to create dances and music that encourages audiences to look at their world with new eyes. Tim demonstrates how stumbling over everyday objects can unlock your creativity. Motion 360 inspires people to explore their own potential and see the potential in others.

New music and songs, also by Fisher and Aiken, score this new telling of the familiar fable of a nasty wizard and a daunting task. Entertaining throughout, and personally engaging as audience children participate and act out some of the roles themselves. A truly magical re-telling!
