 the arts to children in your communities.

NEW ARTISTS!

Treat your students to a dynamic presentation
of dance and mime!

Karen Montanaro's Imagination in Action artfully connects movement to narrative.

Karen Monantero

Karen Montanaro is a world-renowned dancer and mime artist, an award-winning choreographer, and the innovator of "Mimedance" (the fusion of two classical art forms). She entertains and educates students using her phenomenal technique and control in both ballet and performance-mime to tell stories through movement.

Karen brings a variety of offerings to schools and students of all grade levels. Her experience with performances, workshops and residencies in dance, mime/movement and creativity, make Karen an ideal member of the Young Audiences of Massachusetts roster. Welcome Karen!
