Hi all:
we had some fun the other night, working with kids. I love the way they get into the message, you can escape the straitjackets that bind you

heres a news blurb followed by some pics of it and some escapes

This is good work Michael.

Remember I teach teen-agers for a living. Thye want nothing more than a guide to show them the way to get along in the world, but they dare not ask for one lest their independence be questioned. Nor can they accept it easily due to pride and ego. Add to all that pressure easy access to stuff that makes you "feel good" that everyone else is doing anyway and "shazam" a recipe for disaster. Trust me on this I know the game well, both from personal experience and from 20 years in the classroom.

Keep it up Michael, it was a very good thing you did.

Awesome stuff!

I've been doing a school programme for the past 3 years that uses escapes quite heavily, along with other circus and sideshow stuff, and it always plays well. Not just for the kids but also the teachers too.

In fact about 60% of my work is for 5 to 15 year olds.

Kids these days are far more savvy than most adults give them credit for. It seems you really hit the nail on the head with your set.

In fact our long time friend Clyde, who's been MIA from these boards for quite some time now, does (or did) an anti-drugs show that uses escapes. Bust Loose I think he called it.

I'm not sure if he still does it. But I've got one of his posters on my wall
