INFLATABLE DRAGON, WHISTLER B.C STREET ENTERTAINMENT

I have been presenting my Nylon Zoo in Whistler B.C. or the children’s festival and for street entertainment since the year 2000. I was back again at the Children’s Art Festival, a wonderful treat for the whole family and for Street Entertainment on August 22 – 24th 2018.

“As usual, your performances were tip-top and it was great to see you!” Anna Solich, Former Whistler Street Entertainment Coordinator, Whistler Arts Council, B.C.

 BUCKLEY VALLEY EXHIBITION, SMITHERS B.C.

My photographer son, Casey Mons and I were at the Buckley Valley Exhibition  with one of Evelyn Roth’s fabulous creations; my hand-made inflatable salmon and costumes,

The photos in above video were taken by Casey. The song (Silver Water) was written and sung by Angela  & Stumpy the puppet. It is  arranged by Deva Neil Depodesta and Casey Mons.

“At the 97th Annual Bulkley Valley Exhibition, Angela performed both as “The Ta Daa Lady” and as Angela Brown’s Nylon Zoo. She delighted our audiences with her engaging and positive personality, and the kids especially enjoyed the chance to dress up in crazy and colourful costumes and go inside the inflatable salmon as part of the Nylon Zoo. Angela is an incredibly enthusiastic, professional and talented performer!” Tirion Grice BVE Smithers, B.C.

PACIFIC RIM WHALE FESTIVAL

The Nylon zoo was in Tofino and Ucluelet with Angela’s long, blur and sleek Whale. The mother whale has her baby Whale attached. When she was there, the Ta Daa Lady also offered two storytelling workshops as part of her package.

“Angela Brown is incredibly professional, fun and wonderful to work with. Hire her for your children’s entertainment. If you want great entertainment and an educational experience for your children, hire Angela for your event. She brings great entertainment for all ages! Children under the age of thirteen were all entertained!”  Gillian H. Nicol Former Festival Coordinator, Pacific Rim Whale Festival

COUNTRY CELEBRATION LANGLEY B.C

 The Nylon Zoo has been a part of  Country Celebration in Langley B.C. each September since 1996. This two day, family friendly festival is sponsored by Metro Vancouver.  I would recommend to anyone who wants to make this  special festival a priority.  This year, it takes place on the third weekend of September. In 2018, I had my DRAGON with me. The photos above by Tom Tasse and Casey Mons.

HYDE CREEK SALMON FESTIVAL

The Hyde Creek Salmon Festival continues to bring back the salmon for the fall run. This festival provides an opportunity for participants to observe and celebrate the return of salmon to their spawning grounds in Hyde Creek after their miraculous journey home. This year, 2018 will be Angela Brown’s eight year at the festival with her Nylon Zoo. Above video by Tom Tasse.

FAT CAT FESTIVAL

“Great job, as always Angela – I just love the energy, creativity and color you add  to the Festival.” Dorothee Birker, Innovex Events, Kelowna B.C.

Storytelling in the Nylon Zoo

This Nylon Zoo event took place a few years back the Whistler Children’s Art Festival in B.C. Angela Brown (The Ta Daa Lady) dresses the children in nylon zoo costumes for ‘Make a Play”’. The children act out the story with Ta Daa Lady narrating. The audience (parents of children) are hungry bears since the salmon run is not plentiful. The animals (children) are feeding them berries.

Kispiox Music Festival Hazelton B.C.

“Angela Brown, and both her shows: “The Ta Daa Lady”, and her very impressive “Nylon Zoo”  have been the highlight of our Kid’s area and  stage for two consecutive years. She is hugely entertaining and engages the youngsters at some many levels, from sheer brilliant slapstick comedy, thoughtful (but always humorous). There seems to be something for everyone.  She engages her audience all times, hosting a storytelling dance and costume workshop and then leading the group on a parade through the grounds. Very impressive! It would be hard to recommend a more professional, impressive, and entertaining children’s performer than Angela Brown.”  Todd Stockner, Artistic Director, Kispiox Valley Music Festival, Hazelton B.C.
