| Month in the Country - My Darling Patricia Puppetry Workshop | |
During the workshop, the group introduced three different puppets that they had brought along and demonstrated how they could be used - either with one operator/actor or two actors together. These puppets were a hand puppet fox, an animal puppet Goose, and a Japanese style Bunraku puppet girl. The group then showed students a few simple paper puppets that could be made using paper plates, newspapers and masking tape. The students worked for 20-30 minutes making a puppet. Once the puppets were completed the students participated in a puppet parade in groups of 2-4. The student’s puppets ranged from aliens with chopsticks, to a ‘Food Chain’ – where each successive puppet ate the next one! The creativity of the students impressed both the Artists and us here at Murray Arts. The workshop was a great way
for the students to explore the art of puppet making, and was a
fun morning for both students, teacher Michelle and the four Artists.
