A Passion for Birds (formerly Birds in Their Habitat) is a unique, interpretive program which helps students to understand and connect with birds and other wildlife. Using masks, comedy, and lots of audience participation, Henry Lappen explores how and why birds have adapted to their environment. He explains the science while demonstrating how the birds move and act. Participants get to don the masks and soar as Eagles, stalk as Herons, and swim as Puffins. Covers several state science curriculum standards.
Henry the Juggler Henry the Juggler (AKA Henry Lappen) is wanted! He is wanted by audiences everywhere for his zany attempts
to defy the laws of gravity. He juggles any number of balls, clubs, rings, members of the audience . . . He balances strange
items on the tip of his nose.
Everything is accomplished wordlessly as Henry uses body language and gesture to express himself.
Caution: Henry is known to use innocent bystanders in his act.
Henry the Juggler is a professional. He has been seen by tens of thousands up and down the East Coast - at theaters, schools,
libraries and festivals. He has been performing for over twenty five years. He studied physical comedy at California's Dell'Arte School.
He is an active member of the International Jugglers' Association.
