Welcome to Puppet-Mallows, where storytelling gets squishy! In this imaginative theatre class, students will bring tales to life using all kinds of things, including Squishmallows, as puppet characters. Students will learn the basics of character creation, voice work, simple puppetry techniques, and collaborative storytelling. Whether they're crafting original adventures or reimagining familiar fairy tales, students will build confidence, creativity, and performance skills.
These theatre classes target interests of young people and focus on specific topics that participants explore in depth. Books, films, tv shows, and theatre skills establish the framework for students to develop their own ideas. Participants do not need to be familiar with the source material to enjoy a course. Lessons for this age group concentrate on acting and performance skills in addition to exploration of theme and story. The week culminates with an informal sharing of material developed and performed by the students. Classes accommodate a variety of skill levels, and students do not need previous drama experience to succeed in and enjoy this course.
