Photo Friday: Conner Elementary Students Perform at Japanese Celebration

On Saturday, May 7, a group of Thriving Minds after-school students from Conner Elementary had the chance to perform their dramatic interpretation of The Cloudmakers, a kabuki-style theatrical performance, as part of the Crow Collection of Asian Art’s Japanese Children’s Day celebration.

  1. Aloha, e Audrey Easley,

    What a wonderful idea--and innovative--a kabuki-style interpretation of my book. Would love to see more photos. Also, see more about THE CLOUDMAKERS at my new website: jamesrumford.com. Thank you for writing.

    Aloha,
    James Rumford

  2. This program was conducted by Junior Players, the partner in charge of arts instruction at Conner Elementary. Daniel Hart, the actor/musician who is currently teaching the Kabuki Class in partnership with Kent Williams is a former Junior Players participant!
