It's Time—An Object Theatre Performance Friday, July 30, 2010 8:00 am - 9:00 am Santa Fe Children's Museum Loren Kahn Puppet and Object Theatre presents It’s Time, a new object theater production for the very young performed by Isabelle Kessler. Debuting in early 2010, It’s Time has been developed for ages 1-3 or 3-5. A character, dressed all in gray, arrives in her workshop. In this quiet gray nest, color is born, feather by feather. A yellow feather: the sunrise? A blue feather: storm of blue sky? Story fragments create a bird, then an egg -- what color will it be? Simplicity and tranquility are explored in this performance, which was created for the age when each moment is a discovery and magic is in the emotions. Using object theatre as a bridge between theatre, visual art and puppetry, Loren Kahn Puppet and Object Theater brings to life a hilarious and magical world, delighting tiny children and provoking reflection in teenagers and grownups.

Modern taiko has only been performed as an art since 1951, when a practitioner named Daihachi Oguchi established his group. But taiko drumming itself has been around for quite a while, as an accompaniment to Shinto and Buddhist religious ceremonies, and in feudal Japan taiko were often used to motivate troops by setting a marching pace. Be prepared! This performance is sure to get you on your feet.$5 Akeem Ayanniyi and Agula Monday, December 28, 2009 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm Santa Fe Children's Museum Akeem Ayanniyi brings his gorgeous West African drums and hypnotic, dynamic rhythms of Agalu African music to us from Nigeria, Africa.
