Story Literacy and Puppetry (4th. & 5Th.)
This brand-new residency focuses on creative storytelling, literacy and theater production, where students form their own theater company for a dynamic production at the end of the week. They will learn a folktale or fable, create sock and mask puppets, scenery, and produce a puppet show for younger audiences (5k-1st grades). The week covers theater production technology, acting. storytelling, and puppet making. They will discover how to use sound effects, voice dynamics, timing and, characterization techniques in a control environment. Your students will have a wonderful time engaging and learning about story arts.
