Program Description
In these four- or five-day residencies taught by Kelly Campbell, students construct their own puppets and learn how to bring them to life through movement and voice. The artist develops the stories, casts all students for parts in the play and leads them in making and developing a voice for their puppets. The artist directs the class in a performance of their play on the last day of the residency. Story options include Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are; "Frog Girl" (Native American folktale); "Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock" (West African folktale); and "Momotaro the Peach Boy" (Japanese folktale).
