Description
Poetry in Motion is an award-winning, exhilarating tour de force for actor/mime David Zucker. It combines acting, mime, humor, audience participation and an old steamer trunk brimming with props, costumes, masks, and puppets; bringing the best English language children's poetry vividly to life. David recreates the fine tradition of memorized spoken verse with the poems of such authors as A.A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, Langston Hughes, James Whitcomb Riley, and many more. Performed for hundreds of thousands of students across the USA over the past 30 years.
