We're honoured to bring the Labyrinth Experience to life, without Jim Henson there would be no Labyrinth! (what an awful thought). As a thank you to Jim, we have planned a variety of celebratory tributes. Jim Henson Birthday Video We're inviting attendees to share memories, thanks and well wishes throughout the weekend, to be made into a special tribute video that will be shared via The Jim Henson Company social media channels on Jim Henson's Birthday 24th September. Special Performance at the Ball Louise Gold will be performing a song at the Masked Ball on Saturday evening in honour of Jim Henson. Tissues at the ready, there won't be a dry eye in the place! Jim Henson: Fairytales to Fantasy Talk We're thrilled to be joined by Karen Falk, the Archives Director and Historian for The Jim Henson Company. Karen has put together a wonderful presentation for us, exploring Jim’s interest in the fantasy genre and how he explored it throughout his career. |
