Arts Alive:

Our whimsical and wacky characters engage your guests as we build newly invented worlds of improvisation.  We rove and interact with folks and invite them, if so inclined, to participate. Our familiar, archetypal characters are visually silly and engaging with costumes and props. Our characters use movement, narrative, and conversation.

  • British inspectors… Tip toe around about searching for "CLEWS".

  • French Waitresses.....Serve up delightful moments.

"There should be more performance art! You two Performance Artists were

a great addition to the show today.  You brought movement, energy and connection to our art sale today.  And increased sales, I'm sure!"
C. Hajosy, Newton

Mission of "ARTS ALIVE":

  • To spread joy and delight. 

  • To introduce a new kind of performance art in which guests, if so inclined, become an integral part of the action.
     

  • To help people feel welcome, and, and to increase their enjoyment.
     

  • To connect with people, and, provide them with a fun, interactive experience.
     

  • To promote the art of business, and, to create a sense of community within businesses.
