Think Bigg blends mime, storytelling and puppetry into a hilarious show of kid-friendly stories and characters. Featuring lots of audience participation, students learn about non-verbal communication and specific mime techniques both onstage and in their seats.
“Loved how different shows were tailored very appropriately to the age group. The engagement with audience was wonderful! Thank you for asking for consent when interacting with children on stage.” – Cultural Arts Rep, Olive Chapel Elementary
