Part music, part theater, and part joke, Balloon Interludes is a silly, delightful exploration of creativity and play. Balloons have the same appeal to me as play dough or finger painting—even more serious personalities smile and play when someone tosses a balloon their way.

Like recess, the three interludes are designed to fit in-between other works on a concert and run like a ribbon in the background. In each, more categories of sound (and more balloons!) are introduced for  play. The interludes balance structure and simplicity with flexibility and choice to invite everyone to confidently create together. At times, performers create a definitive focal point; at others, many. The audience can focus on and enjoy any interaction that fascinates them. They may even find themselves part of a spontaneous moment with a performer! The end result is a room bouncing with balloons and sound. So invite your inner child to come explore and prepare for fun! (And expect surprises!)
