The StoryFace-A-Saurus Show

Logo for The StoryFace-A Saurus Show

We’re all going to have fun this summer with Dinosaur tales and Science on faces in The StoryFace-A-Saurus Show. Featuring my new interactive tale “Dinosaurs: Who Knew?” — the story of dinosaurs and how much the story has changed over the years as science makes new discoveries. With folktales about ancient creatures like Crocodiles, Sharks and legendary Dragons and a special appearance of the King of the Monsters in my own story of how I was inspired to become a storyteller by Godzilla.

Christopher Agostino’s StoryFaces  is an exciting storytelling show in which I paint the faces of audience volunteers to illustrate the stories as I tell them, captivating the audience with these uniquely animated tales. My new StoryFace-A-Saurus show gives me the chance to combine some favorite folktales and fantastic faces with a childhood love of dinosaurs and science  — including a celebration of the Museum of Natural History for bringing dinosaurs to life for me as a child.

A StoryFace performance runs 60 minutes. I choose volunteers from the audience to be part of the show onstage while engaging the full audience with storytelling and audience involvement. The content is targeted towards school aged kids and family audiences, including toddlers is ok. I bring a sound system, require no special equipment, and comfortably perform for small groups or large audiences.

Please contact me with any questions, or to schedule a performance.

This summer’s StoryFace-A-Saurus Show is Godzilla Inspired with a special appearance by the King of the Monsters! I grew up a dinosaur fan — fully indoctrinated by visits to the Museum of Natural History — and have been painting all sorts of dinosaur themed faces at events over the years. In the early 1990s, I saw Allynn Gooen using balloons and audience members to bring a Godzilla story to life on stage, and that was an inspiration for me to become a storytelling facepainter, Godzilla Inspired.

Halloween 2015 — Face Painting Gallery

Some of the designs I explored during Halloween season. We had been doing Halloween-themed events from the start of October, and it kinda crept up on me. After the first weekend I took some time to make sketches for faces using the cartooning/animating techniques I’ve been experimenting with for my StoryFaces  performances, and trying to use the mouth and nose in more playful ways.
