DIVINE
No, kudzu has not taken over Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. But there is a
strange new "vine" that's been transplanted around the park and we have to warn you, it has caught
quite a few visitors by surprise. Why? Well, "DiVine" isn't your ordinary run-of-the-mill,
ten-foot tall plant. In fact, "DiVine" is really performance artist Priscilla Blight who has
brought her expressive talents to Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park for an
exclusive engagement after travelling all over the globe. A gifted performer of the
"new vaudeville" genre, Priscilla cleverly conceals herself in a towering, hand-made foliage
costume. It is only when she moves that guests realize they are not looking at nature but at
"DiVine." And that is the message "DiVine" has for us all - really look at nature.
Take time to visit soon and look out for "DiVine!"
10:00 & 11:00am, 12:00 & 1:00pm
(45 minute sets)
