The Bacon Free Public Library, Natick, MA. had Colette Perform a Summer Concert Series.
Each week Colette brought a homemade wishing well, wishing coins, props, flowers, and free bubbles, so that audiences could play along!
Week 1 was all about what one can learn from nature.
Week 2 explored the real potential of making wishes.
Week 3 encouraged creativity and folklore where the audience added to "The Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures."
Bring Colette's audience-centered attention to your hometown. She travels!
steampunk?
no problem
Did you know that Colette has her own, homemade, gypsy wagon time machine?
Watch-City Steampunk Festival found out that Colette is really a time-traveler when she arrived.
Apparently the times we live in today do not have enough acoustic-energy to power her wagon; so she must keep singing!
