“Coyote” is on the road again, taking its trickster tales and desert dangers around Oregon and beyond!
This week, the intrepid Milagro Tour crew is engaging the citizens of Baker City and Salem with bilingual performances, arts-enriched workshops and even a nice potluck gathering to share stories!
In addition to school and public performances of Cúentame Coyote, Milagro Tour spreads culture and learning to places off the beaten path with classes for groups of all ages. This Saturday April 5, the residents of Echo, Oregon, will have a special opportunity for community-building through with Milagro Tour’s Reality Theatre Workshop, which incorporates the techniques and ideas of improvisation, Commedia, and Augusto Boal to explore current sociopolitical issues. If you’re in the area, contact presenter Susan Kays to join in and help find the answers to big questions like “what can theatre teach us about ourselves?” and “what is my role in my community?”
Milagro Tour also has two other exciting shows available, Aventuras de Don Quixote and El Niño Diego (appropriate for grades K-3 and 3-8 respectively), each also with its own series of arts-enriched workshops led by the performers (also trained as arts educators) to give greater depth to the issues raised by the plays.
