Puppets on the Go is a crate based outreach program designed by Wendy Passmore-Godfrey, Artistic Director, which builds on her 25 years of experience in teaching school workshops, artist residencies and professional development. The first crate in the Puppets on the Go series is called “Introducing Shadow Puppets” and is designed for grades k-2. When it arrives in the classroom, the traveling case opens to reveal an array of colours, shapes and materials, inviting children’s imaginations to explore the rich culture and long history of puppetry in a creative learning environment.
With multiple core and art curriculum links, the crate program allows flexible usage for teachers and cost effectiveness. It offers a professional and knowledgeable experience on a unique art form. The arts based activities appeal to diverse learning styles and motivate students to learn by simply having fun! Our crate contains all the components, i.e.: puppets, scripts, stage, for students to perform a puppet show and the materials/supplies for students to create their own puppets. Clear instructions, samples and patterns make this a user friendly experience for teachers and provide suggestions for further curriculum exploration. W.P. Puppet Theatre is excited to continue our educational mandate to schools with this unique and innovative program. “Introducing Shadow Puppets” will be available for 10 day rentals starting in September 2008 with subsequent crates following in the New Year. Please see our website www.wppuppet.com for booking information.
