Last January I did a neat residency in building shadow puppets. It was
for hs students and I set an age limit of 12 because of the carving
tools.
The students did very well. Some copied traditional Balinese style
puppets, which are part of my set, and others made their own. We ended
with a culmination exhibit where we did a 15 minute performance that
they created, with some help. We ended up having 4 puppeteers and one
musician/sound effect person.
Some day I'll have the time to put photos of their work on my website,
but it wont be until winter...
Masks & drama are of course natural partners as well...
Best wishes,
Maria
