10:30am Storytime Big Nazo is an international performance group of visual artists, puppet performers, and masked musicians who unite to create bizarre and hilarious larger-than-life sized characters, environments, and spectacles. Renegade circus family contortionists, a rowdy rodeo horse, a giant three-eyed robot percussionist, break-dancing police officers, Mountain Trolls, blob-like GO-GO Dancers, a charismatic lab rat and his giant man-eating chia pet are just a few of the characters, environments, and spectacles that create an irreverent musical Commedia full of irresolvable conflict, ridiculous dancing and an epic battle with the forces of chaos.
11:30am The Color Kittens with Wendi Wing. Wendi is a graphic designer and
illustrator who loves bright colors and kittens and puns, but especially puns about kittens. Trust me, I’m not kitten. Find more of her colors here.
