Photos for Children's Show: The Mime Who Talks! The Juggler Who Drops! (Oops!)

  
  

Please do not use these photos if you want to print them in a brochure or program or if you want to send a photo to a newspaper or magazine for printing. They are not print resolution (they don't have enough pixels per inch), and they will look crummy. Email me at kerriganatmindspringdotcom, or call me at 919-360-0690, and I will send you larger. jpg files that will look fabulous in print. The exception to this is the headshot -- that is print quality.

Use these photos for digital purposes -- on your website, in emails to your emailing list, on your Facebook page, etc. Just drag them where you want to use them.

Do not delete the photo credit. The photographer is an artist, and the pictures are his property, used by permission, so long as he gets a photo credit. The exception to this is the headshot. It does not require a photo credit.

Below are poster phantoms for the show for children as downloadable PDF files, one 8½" x 11" and one 11" x 14" plus a postcard phantom (front and back).

8.5x14 pdf (1.1mb)	8.5x11 pdf (1mb)	front pdf (1.7mb)	back pdf (300k)

The poster phantoms have blank space on top for information like, "The Stokes County Arts Council and XYC Corporation Present," and space on the bottom for the time, place, contact information, ticket prices, ticket sales outlets, and sponsor logos. On the postcard, your information can go on the other side.

You may make changes to the items, but keep the title (The Juggler Who Drops! The Mime Who Talks! Sheila Kerrigan!), keep the photo, and keep all of the small type, including the photo credit.

Her performance for children and families includes juggling (and dropping) (oops!) while she talks about the importance of failure in learning and growing. She juggles and tells a story about setting a positive mental attitude to aim for and achieve success. She includes a lecture-demonstration about mime and some mime pieces (some are silent!). This performance appeals to families and children in grades 3-8, and can be followed by mime or juggling workshops.

Her performance for adults starts before birth, ends after death, and wobbles unsteadily across the terrain in between. She incorporates mime, puppetry, ridiculosity, metaphysics and metaphor. What more could anyone ask for?
