Art Forms |

| Music: Deb plays guitar, banjo, and other stringed instruments. She sings with a voice full of beauty and warmth, custom made for folk music. Sometimes, Mat plays along on his jawharp. |
|||||||||||
| Mime & Clown: Mat is a student of these historical art forms and has a style of mime and clown that is infused with the spirit of great silent movie comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Deb sometimes mimes along. They have many great skits and perform many cool mime illusions! |
|||||||||||
| Juggling: Mat will excite and charm an audience with his comedic juggling and stories. He juggles a variety of objects(beanbags, balls, rings, clubs and basketballs) balances on a "rolla bolla"(a board on a cylinder) walks on his hands(as in upside down) and more. Mat's act features no "off color" jokes, just great tricks and tales. |
|||||||||||
| Songs & Stories: Each piece is some unique mix of music, mime, juggling, and the spoken word. Their songs and stories are each a colorful piecing together of various skills to create a warm and colorful artistic "patchwork quilt" (hence their name). Read Reviews |

| "Mat Emerick, a mime with Patchwork Pear Performers, juggles at Moosejaw at the Village of Rochester Hills on Saturday. During his visit, no one was allowed to speak, including the staff; all communication had to be visual. Below: Carla Mosse, assistant manager of Moosejaw, uses a dry erase board to communicate with shoppers.
