ANIMAL RHYTHMS
...the actor/dancer pairing making a perfectly creative connection on stage....
"Everybody Dance Now
Any kid will tell you, entertainment-wise, it’s hard to top an animal story with a good beat. Animal Rhythms invites kids to explore rhythm and modern dance following several animals as they learn about helping, sharing, working and friendship.
Get ready to dance!"
-Urban Baby Daily
NY 1
"African Animal Adventures
Even Manhattan Chauvinists have to admit that this weekend, there is a reason to cross the East River. Kids are treated to a lesson in body drumming that involves keeping the beat on one’s head, belly and thighs."
-Susan Avery, New York Magazine
"I was very pleased with your performance. It was perfect for children and the adults could enjoy it, too. A great blend of dance and storytelling. I am now a Treehouse Shakers fan." Frank Stankus, parent, Pelham, NY.
DESERT TRAVELS
Timely stories, Desert Travels explores the greed of a rat on his quest in the middle east...perfect headdresses...versatile actors...and a magical interaction with dance...and you'll see things you never thought a stork was capable of.
“Congratulations on a great show! You are incredibly talented! I thought it was terrific...”
-Gywnne Murphy
“I was amazed to see how quiet and enraptured a bunch of kids could be for a whole hour!”
-Angharad Davis, Dance Teacher

Animal Rhythms The Day It Rained & Jackal and Hare, Retold by Mara McEwin & Choreographed by Emily Bunning |
Animal Rhythms has children explore rhythm as they create the sounds of the ancient story drum using their own bodies and are introduced to modern dance through the characters onstage. The humorous animals journey through their stories in bright African costumes and enchanting animal headdresses created by Kate Cusack. Emily Bunning's Afro-influenced movement beats to live African drumming by Roderick Jackson and an original music score by Mark Sopchak. We look forward to sharing our newest children's dance-play that will keep children and adults drumming and dancing in their seats!
