Because puppetry is a theatrical medium—an art form composed of object, movement, and connected moments in time—it offers all sorts of possibilities to lift text from the page into the living world. Through lively demonstrations using the simplest materials for specific projects in several curriculum areas, participants will leave with reading comprehension strategies that will excite their students.
Karen Konnerth travels nationally and internationally to share puppet theater with children and families, and puppetry skills with educators. As a puppeteer and a teacher, she has distilled her countless classroom hours developing, implementing, and refining arts-integrated projects, which she has presented for the National Art Education Association, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and for the U.S. Embassy English Language Specialist Program in Central America, Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa. KarenKonnerth.com
