Blue Man Group -
Making Waves, the national touring exhibit supported by
Harman/Becker Automotive Systems and created by the Boston Children’s
Museum and Blue Man Group, and powered by JBL®, will open at Children’s Museum of Atlanta
on June 10.
The
1,500-square foot exhibit - designed to bring together science and art
- will take the whole family through a multi sensory exploration of
sound that provides an opportunity to play together while discovering
the fun of music.
Onstage,
the Blue Man is one part inquisitive child, one part trickster, and one
part superhero on a journey of discovery. Throughout Blue Man Group - Making Waves, families
are encouraged to learn, play, and explore with the same curiosity as
these renowned performing artists.
“This
interactive exhibit, based on the well known and contemporary performing
group, will have children and parents alike enthralled in the color and
sound created within the space,” said Jane Turner, executive director
of Children’s Museum of Atlanta. “Blue
Man Group – Making Waves does such a great job of teaching
kids how the elements of science and art come together to create music
in a way that disguises the fact that they’re learning.”
Co-founder
of Blue Man Group, Chris Wink says, "After years of being able to
express ourselves creatively on stage, it has become increasingly
important to us to develop experiences that encourage and expand the
creative development of others-particularly children and their parents. We're very excited to see this exhibit come to life with JBL
technology, and who better to demonstrate the true value of
understanding quality sound than Harman."
At the
Slide-u-lum, Build-u-lum, Sand Drum, and Theramin, children will have an
opportunity to see, feel, and create sound. At the PVC Station, visitors
of all ages will have a chance to play the unique Blue Man Group
instruments, while learning how sound works and the whole experience
culminates in the JBL®-equipped Surround Sound Theater where
engineering genius combines with a short musical piece by Blue Man
Group to illustrate the elements of sound.
The
exhibit will be at Children’s Museum of Atlanta through September 4.
