Join Jessica Litwak, theatre artist and drama therapist, for this fun and therapeutic puppet-making workshop. Learn how to make a puppet and bring him or her to life.
Personal, attractive, and easy to make, these puppets allow workshop participants to tell their stories and freely express themselves with hands, body and voice.
These special puppets are easily and quickly made with newspaper and tape. The heads are filled with sacred items and important words. The faces are formed with imagination and decorated with expression. Finally, the puppeteers perform small puppet shows with their new creations.
