Presentation and Performance for Grades 4-8
This 30-minute performance and 15-minute presentation for Middle school students tells the story of Jumping Mouse.
Based on a Native American legend, her adventures are an initiation journey set in the landscapes of the American ‘Heartland’: a place of rivers, prairies and mountains, of racoons, wolves and eagles... but most importantly, a landscape of the soul where courage, determination and the greatest compassion are developed.
