INTERESTED IN A FREE, AT-HOME PUPPETRY CLASS? I’m developing a residency project exploring the craft of puppetry that participants can do at home. The project would explore: 1. Creating toy theater for home entertainment. 2. Crafting a puppet character focusing on voice, movement and form. 3. Developing skits that explore empathy and conflict resolution. The project would be run through a combination of scheduled Zoom sessions, Youtube instruction and Email. Children and adults are welcome, but there will be separate Zoom sessions for the two groups. The residency would be free for those who can commit to the minimum of ten one-hour sessions. It will take place during the month of June. Puppets and skits created during the project will be shown in an online exhibition on my website and might be shown by the project supporters (Pittsburgh Center for Arts & Media and PA Council on the Arts). If you are interested, please contact me at tomsarver@gmail.com by May 15th. This is just an inquiry for now. Photo credit: Larry Rippel.
