Creating Memories

7/21/2012

 
Recently I performed at a church function and as I was setting up for the show a young man approached me and said that he remembered me from a friend's birthday party that he attended. He said that he still remembers the "milk trick" I performed with him as the volunteer. He proceeded to tell me just how much fun that was and that he will never forget it. 


It's interesting because the party he referred to was about five years ago and he still remembers that experience! This reaffirms the impact a live performer has on children whether he is performing music, dance, balloon twisting, magic or whatever. I have always maintained the belief that movies, video games, television, etc are nothing more than passive babysitters for children. Don't get me wrong these media have a place and can be entertaining but too much can be a bad thing. 


Interactive, live performances done inside  of a home are much more rich in their entertainment value because they contribute to the psychological growth of a child. Children LOVE to play-act. Play-acting is a necessity for children as they grow because it develops the all important imagination. Live performances provide the opportunity for children to play-act in front of their peers  within a safe and controlled environment. If the performance is done correctly, the added benefit will be a fond memory that will endure a life time.

Busy Spreading Joy This Past Weekend

Saturday I had the pleasure and honor of providing laughter and joy at two birthday parties and a church barbecue. All three events were a lot of fun and I was happy to be able to contribute to the fun and festivities for the children involved!
