This
is a one day, intensive workshop intended to introduce teachers
to several giant puppet designs, and to leave them with the tools
to then teach others how to make them. Up to thirty participants
learn how to create various cardboard armatures, build newspaper
sculpture base, and paper mache it. Examples of giant puppets that
can be started are Chinese style dragons, backpack puppets, small
riding horses, flying birds, and pole puppets. Participants are
also presented with written materials which illustrate how to make
the costumes and bodies for the faces they create.
This
workshop is one full day, for adults only, and requires two puppeteers.
