Prepare to be amazed, dazzled, and bewildered by Yasu Ishida’s Story Circus! Storytelling comes together in visual ways with lots of audience participation — “Storygami” — stories illustrated by Origami; and storytelling with magic. Afterwards, young audiences can make a simple origami craft that they can take home to perform their own stories.

Join us at 11:00 am to see Yasu Ishida perform!

About Yasu: Combining traditional Japanese theatre, music, origami, magic, and storytelling; Yasu Ishida will guide you to the enchanting land of Japan. Yasu has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Theatre for Young Audiences and has been performing all around the county, including the Disney Summer Stage Kids (NY), the National Cherry Blossom Festival (Washington D.C.), to the Hawaii Music & Book Festival.
