Great for classroom drama, literacy, and exploring many themes, toy theatre uses easy-to-make paper puppets and is appropriate for all students first grade and above. This workshop will cover stage construction and explore ideas for adapting toy theatre to various curricula. Stages can be created by the teacher for the class, or each student can create their own stage with scissors, glue sticks, and crayons, markers, or paints. Participants will leave with printable stage patterns that include instructions for at-home or in-class use.
Michael and Valerie Nelson of Magical Moonshine Theatre have been professional puppeteers for more than four decades. Currently, they are artists in residence at Willow Elementary, an Arts Magnet School in Napa, California, that uses the Artful Learning framework.
