ARTS VOYAGE - A CREATIVE ARTS SUMMER CAMP

Kids ages 4-10, Pack your day-bag, and get ready to travel to Japan with KineoLab!

Momotaro

Arts Voyage Rochester presents a classic Japanese tale of adventure and heroism, Momotaro. This is a story about a boy who having been sent to an old couple in a giant peach, saves his village from Oni (ogres) with the help of friends he meets along the way. The story highlights the power of teamwork and friendship and teaches that when we work together we can accomplish much more than we can apart. Students will engage traditional Japanese art forms such as origami, bunraku puppetry, and calligraphy.

About Arts Voyage Rochester

KineoLab's KineoKids invites you on a journey of epic proportions. A voyage of intrigue and discovery through imaginary worlds made real. Where storybooks come to life through the performing and visual arts, and the adventures are as big as the imagination of the adventurer. Arts Voyage Rochester offers an exciting and dynamic program where students can express themselves through dance, storytelling and visual art.

During the week, students take daily classes in dance, storytelling, and visual arts; enjoy storytime along with a yummy treat; and ultimately combine their efforts to produce a small-scale end-of-week production for family and friends.
