UMO Ensemble
Vashon Strawberry Festival
The concept is…we will entertain you until the end of time…
The Strawberry Festival is turning 100 this year and UMO is turning 20… To celebrate both of their birthdays, UMO will conduct youth performance classes that will create a youth ensemble to perform at the Strawberry Festival Parade along the UMO Cart. Youth performers will learn how to either stilt, do acro-balance techniques or juggling. 5 UMO performers will also accompany the cart and perform. It will be a European carnival themed extravaganza!
UMO began their creative collaboration in 1987. The company is committed to a permanent Ensemble of performers who create and compose their own productions. The Ensemble's creative process is rooted in physical theater: improvisations in movement, character, vocalizing and writing are the basis for the creation and development of new works.
