If All the World Were Paper---The Red Kite Project Phase 2
Yesterday we drove two hours in Tim and Amanda's truck to a little town called Warwick where we say a show Tim, Amanda, and Max created called “If All the World Were Paper." It is a performance for little kids 3-6 years old. It's a really neat show about a paper doll that comes to life, flies on a paper airplane and falls into a sea of ink. The music was written by Max and is all played on a ukelele. I wish you could see it. The picture you see of the bird puppet is from the show---isn't that cool? All made from paper and a big fan. What would you do if all the world were made of paper?
After the show, we had a nice long meeting with Tim, Amanda and Max to talk about our new show. Remember the one we are going to put on Navy Pier about the ship that uses Cody Kites to sail to the moon? Did you ever find out anything you can tell me about Cody Kites?
During our meeting we came up with the idea that maybe the moon isn't shining down on earth anymore and we need to take our imaginary ship to the moon to find out what's wrong. Can you use your imagination and tell me why you think the moon might suddenly stop shining? Could it be that its batteries are dead? Could it be that it went on holiday to another solar system? What do you think happened?
As I write this it is a chilly morning in London and I am sitting in Tim and Amanda's living room. Keeping warm by their fireplace and thinking about my good friends back in Chicago.
Tell me how you all are and what you have been doing.
Love, Jacqui
