"What do you do with your imagination?"

At Active Imagination events, kids are encouraged to play out the vivid contents of their imaginations using play acting, animation, costumes, props, model-making, creative movement, storytelling, and film-making. Unlike many programs that introduce children to hands-on visual arts and digital media, Active Imagination focuses on interactive group activities and inspires kids to use pretend play and technical problem-solving as a means of making friends and building self-esteem.
KID TRANSLATION: "The stuff we do is AWESOME!"

AI offers families a supportive environment for your children to play, express themselves, and build lasting relationships.

WANTED: Super-Men 2012

For 2012, Active Imagination is recruiting for a team of SUPER-MEN who embody the characteristics that the program celebrates and can help the AI boys see how these traits are transformed into life-long activities for work and play.

Are you, or do you know of, a man who is:
  • PHYSICAL
  • SENSITIVE
  • CURIOUS
  • INGENIOUS
  • UNIQUE
  • ADVENTUROUS
If so, then, you are a SUPER-MAN, and we need your help!

SUPER-MEN will be invited to introduce themselves and share their interests with the boys at a Saturday AM Workshop (monthly) and/or Summer Camp (July). Activities will include lunchtime talks, demonstrations, and mini-classes. Bring a uniform, tools/equipment, partner -- whatever brings your work/play to life.


This invitation is currently open to men who already care for a boy in the program: cool dads, uncles, family friends, mentors, etc. In addition to inspiring the boys at some point in-person, Phil will help the SUPER-MEN connect to each other through social networking and live events. Stay Tuned!

Potential SUPER-MEN should contact Phil by phone/text or email.

Saturday AM AI-Club, 1/28/11

Join us for this year's 1st meeting of Active Imagination's Saturday morning Boys' Club, a monthly playdate where each boy shares their vivid imagination through creative movement, 2D/3D art-making, and live & recorded storytelling. Each month, we explore a different genre or theme, most especially action-adventure or science fiction topics. This time, we'll be beginning a year-long inquiry into the adventures of TIME TRAVEL, from the mechanics of time-keepers to the mysteries of worlds both past & future.
