Dinosaurs! Study Guide & FlyerJim West’s DINOSAURS combines classical music, puppet construction and facts about dinosaurs into an engaging and funny performance for children age 4-12. The show breaks down into four parts:
• Building a Tyrannosaurus Rex (music by Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition; Baba-Yaga)
• A shadow tale about the Overaptor (music by Ravel, Grofé, Mussorgsky, Richard Strauss, and Ibert)
• A story of a little Brachiosaurus, (music by Stravinsky, Prokofiev, and Mahler)
• The finale, with the construction of a huge Apatosaurus (music by Mahler: Symphony No. 1 – Second Movement)
In-between the sections, our host, Fossil, a small blue dinosaur puppet, interacts with Jim as he searches for his identity and new dino facts.
