KIDS WORKSHOPS

WORKSHOPS: Wise Fool artists work with instructors in school, community center, museum and camp settings to design a workshop which accommodates your timing, curriculum, theme, budget and age group. Workshops can be planned for a single meeting or a series.

  • Mask or headdress construction: work in paper mache, clay base, cardboard or plaster bandage
  • Puppet Construction: Choice of rod, shadow or giant puppets *Theatre skills: games, character play, movement, creation of a play *Music: Vocal and rhythm play

RESIDENCIES: Create a pageant, performance or processional theatre event on the theme of your choice. During daily workshops participants work with Wise Fool artists to develop a storyboard, build large scale images using recycled materials, and learn theatre, movement and music skills. The result is a colorful, lively celebration for your school or community in which all feel involved.
