Join Art Reach for an exploration of the art of puppetry with this week-long evening camp. Look beyond the simple sock puppet and delve into designing and crafting a moveable, expression-filled Snoof-style puppet, as well as creating a character with personality. Instructors Jon Morgan, Tonya Huber, and Bill Campbell have designed this camp to explore puppet craftsmanship, character development, physical puppetry skills, and theatrical & television performances, culminating in a final Puppet Pageant led by our cast of created characters and puppet host Sweetums. Families are invited to attend the final show to enjoy the talent and creativity of our students.
This course will be held daily from 5-7 pm on Monday, March 30-Friday, April 3, in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at 111 E. Broadway, Mount Pleasant, MI.
Daily sessions:
Monday & Tuesday: Design & build our puppets. Sewing machines will be utilized with adult help.
