DinoRock

Marvelous original music and colorful puppetry animate the world of science through the one subject that ignites everyone's imagination: dinosaurs! Award-winning artists Ingrid Crepeau and Michele Valeri present interactive programs children will long remember. NEW! The singing, dancing Junkyard Pirates puppets made from recycled materials sail the urban seas on the lookout for ways they can recycle, reuse and reduce as they confront the trash-hungry monster, Landfill. Dinosaur Babies playfully explores human and dinosaur babies' similarities and environmental effects on dinosaur adaptability. Seven exceptional creatures in the Dinosaur Book of World Records inspire children to create their own record books, and Mi Casa Es Su Casa introduces our Latin American neighbors through bilingual songs, Latin rhythms and travel stories.

Combining original music with colorful puppets - rod, hand, full body and marionette - to animate the world of science, Emmy Award-winning designer Ingrid Crepeau and ALA Award-winner Michele Valeri produce paleontological poetry through interactive musical programs. In keeping with current discoveries, DinoRock's dinosaur shows have been reviewed for accuracy by the head of education at the Boston Science Museum. Their "Mi Casa Es Su Casa" program is based on Michele Valeri's travels as a performer for the United States Information Agency. Founded by Parent's Choice Magazine and ALA Award-winner Michele Valeri, Emmy Award-winning designer Ingrid Crepeau and Mike Stein in 1984, DinoRock's shows have all premiered at the Smithsonian's Discovery Theater. Their newest CD, Dreamosaurus, won the Parent's Choice Award and was a GRAMMY nominee in 1999.
