Through the music, costumes, puppetry, dance and magic, the audience will be taken on a magical journey into the Japanese culture. Shozo has been described as Cirque du Soleil meets Bill Nye The Science Guy. Arem portrays a silent character making new and cool discoveries throughout the performance. “Shozo” doesn’t have any meaning one would find in the dictionary, but Arem says he likes for it to mean using your imagination. “I just like the sound of the word basically,” he says.
Arem has performed the show in Tokyo and Los Angeles, and he’s adding some new material specifically for this performance at The Altamont. Having portrayed such characters as Ronald McDonald, Mac Tonight and Striker, the mascot of World Cup Soccer, Arem has a successful background in live performance. One of his distinctive and original characters is T-Bone, a persona Arem created to get children excited about physical activity.
Arem helped establish David Copperfield’s Project Magic at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and has performed with Harry Blackstone Jr. He is celebrated internationally with performing tours of Nepal, Thailand, Canada, Japan, Israel and Ireland. In the United States he has been featured In the Los Angeles Times and on Late Night with David Letterman, ESPN, NBC, and ABC network programs.
Through his lifelong fascination with Japan combined with his extensive history in live performance, Arem hopes audiences of Shozo will be taken on an adventure into a world they have not experienced before. Arem says his favorite quote about Shozo comes from an entertainer friend who has attended shows and performed for more than 30 years. “I’ve not seen 80 percent of what you did in your show in any performances I’ve seen.”

Via Astronomy Club of Asheville:
While all of North America will experience a partial solar eclipse on the afternoon of Monday, August 21st, only those under the eclipse’s “path of totality” – the Moon’s 70-mile wide shadow as it sweeps across the Earth from Oregon to South Carolina – will see a total solar eclipse. Asheville is not under this path and therefore will not see totality.
Check out this helpful interactive path of totality map: https://
And to learn more about why you should travel to the path of totality, visit the Astronomy Club of Asheville’s page dedicated to the Great American Eclipse here: http://
Come have a unique night out, get your hands dirty, and create a beautiful living piece of art for your home. In each Botanical Elements Workshop we will explore a different plant based art form in every session. You can bring a beverage of your choice (alcohol welcome if 21+) and spend a Monday evening sitting outside and creating a beautiful piece of work in the sunshine with your friends.
$25 per class
To plan accurately for materials, pre-registration is strongly encouraged
June 19 – Kokedama … (Japanese hanging moss garden). Kokedama directly translated to English means “moss ball”. Traditionally it is a ball of soil, covered with moss, on which a plant grows. These plants are visually stunning and easy to maintain. You can make one to put on a shelf or one to hang up! We will have enough supplies for everyone to make one Kokedama moss garden complete with one small plant.
July 3rd: Himmeli Air Plant Holders … The word ‘Himmeli’ is from German descent and means ‘sky’ or ‘heaven.’ Himmeli is a type of mobile made of small pipes or straws and wire. Traditionally they have been used in Nordic countries as Christmas decorations. We will have enough copper pipe and wire to make one air plant holder complete with one air plant. If you wish to make more, we will have extra colored plastic straws and wire available.
July 17th: Concrete Succulent Planters … In this workshop we will make our own concrete planter molds using cardboard and tape or recycled materials. There will be enough materials for everyone to make one concrete planter complete with a small succulent plant.
July 31st: Drift Wood Planter with Air Plants … In this workshop we will be gluing living air plants and dried moss and lichen onto drift wood to make beautiful living planters. Air plants will be permanently attached to driftwood and can be watered using a spray bottle. There are enough supplies for everyone to make one driftwood planter containing two air plants.
August 14 – Flower Crowns … In this workshop we will use dried flowers, wire, and ribbon to create flower crowns that will never wilt! We will have enough materials for everyone to make one flower crown per person.
Join us in our classroom each Saturday in August, 8/12, 8/19 & 8/26 for free rock painting. We’ll provide all the supplies!

Buncombe County Schools is hosting eclipse viewing parties at Charles D. Owen High School, T. C. Roberson High School, and North Buncombe High School on August 21 from Noon to 3. There will be family friendly activities and a safe location to enjoy the eclipse!
Like “miniature versions” of the downtown party, the three satellite events will start at noon and run to 3 p.m. They are all free, open to the public, and will most likely take place at the football fields, where people can spread out picnic blankets and each person will get a free pair of solar eclipse viewing glasses until supplies run out. But leave the pets at home.
