Puppetry has been a part of performance traditions for thousands of years. The ability to bring an inanimate object to life and tell a story strikes at the core of imagination. Puppetry invites us to work creatively and collaboratively. This workshop will focus on the bunraku style puppets from Japan and ask participants to work as teams to bring their puppets to life. This interactive work will allow for an exploration of how puppets can help students experience SEL in a unique and fun way.
