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.

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.

StoryFaces: The Ocean Comes To Visit

Feb25

A special set of tales about sea life, magic fish and an ocean of possibilities, featuring the classic folktale in which the Ocean is invited to a party at the house of the Moon and the Sun. All brought to colorful life on the faces of audience volunteers and with the help of the entire audience.

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 my uniquely animated tales.
A typical performance runs 60 minutes, with 4 or 5 stories involving 5 – 10 volunteers being facepainted onstage as I tell my tales. Like a magician would do, I pick my volunteers from the audience to be part of the show onstage while I am also engaging the full audience with my stories and additional audience involvement.
It is an unusual show, with this unique combination of stories and visual art, so you might also want to watch the video: See the video: What Is A StoryFace?

Halloween Face Painting 2013 — Gallery #zombieattack

Oct16

‘Tis the season… We do a lot of Halloween and Fall festival events this time of year, and folks seem even more appreciative of, and open to, our creativity as Halloween approaches. It’s a good time to develop new face ideas and expand on older ones. Our approach is to surprise each person we paint with an original design just for them, only asking if they want to be “nice” or “spooky” — or matching their costume if they have one. Here’s a gallery of some of my favorites as I paint this season, and I’ll add more as we go (gallery updated 10/23/13). Mostly they are the spooky ones, but there’s a few nice ones as well. Check out our event schedule on the News/Schedule page and come and be transformed at Boo at the Zoo and our other Fall Festival and Halloween events.
