Description:
In Asia FantAsia, ancient Asian folk tales and myths are woven with contemporary Asian American style music and theatrical interpretation. Robert's use of timing, elements of surprise, and audience participation create a joyful rapport that draws youngsters and teachers alike into an exploration of Asian culture. These stories, from a variety of Asian countries, may be centuries old, but have lived on because of their positive messages, wit, and wisdom.
