Experience this pretend tea party with your little ones and puppets! You'll drink pretend tea, play real puppet games together, laugh, craft, and singalong as you enjoy the magic of puppetry!
Description:
Grown ups and little ones will have fun together at a real-life-pretend-tea-party thrown for their puppets! (Plush toys allowed, too, we won't discriminate!) Skills Required: sitting, pretending, laughing, playing, wiggling, coloring, sipping, pinkies up, jumping, singing, and playing! One ticket required for *each* person in attendance. Puppets attend for free! Don't have a puppet? That's okay! We'll have a limited supply of puppets for you to borrow while you're in attendance, but it's highly recommended that you bring your own so you won't have to say goodbye at the end of the party! All ages welcome! Come have a lovely farewell party at the last event of the Gen Con Puppetry Program!
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!
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.
