Michael Cooper
Masked Marvels & Wondertales

  Saturday, January 24, 11 a.m.

Michael Cooper is an eye-popping visual artist and mime whose incredible performances have dazzled audiences for almost thirty years. His one-man extravaganza combines breathtaking handcrafted masks, original stories of courage and wonder and outlandish stilt dancing that ranges from madcap to sublime. The result is a moving sculpture. Whether he’s high kicking on giant legs, animating one of his magical creations or quite literally “leaning on air,” the unending enthusiasm of this masked marvel captivates both young and old.
