Let’s get on our feet and share stories with puppets! We’ll have lots of fun learning introductory puppetry skills and using body language to express our emotions. Everyone will have a chance to play!
Long Description:
This is a hands-on puppetry experience especially designed for kids, so let’s get together & show a story! Storytelling is one of life’s essentials - for the teller & the listener. In this workshop, participants will be both, learning by watching, listening, & doing! With puppets, often “show” can be more fun than “tell”! Together we will explore energy, movement & attitude to express our emotions. We will see how emotions can create body language that shows what we feel. The specific body language we discover will be transferred into a simple feather puppet to tell a story that will be shared with the group. Kristin has 25+ years of experience as a professional puppeteer for film, television & theatre (Sid the Science Kid, Frances, & Cartoonito). She's also worked as a teaching artist throughout the Los Angeles area, sharing her love of puppetry with students in the elementary grades.
