COMPAS Teaching Artist Christopher Lutter-Gardella will set-up a traditional hand-puppet stage, provide puppet guidance, musical accompaniment and plain-ol’ puppet comradery (with a hand-puppet of his own) to facilitate a spontaneous, highly improvised showcase of the unique puppet creations of the participants. Christopher will welcome any willing puppets onstage and will help them pluck up their puppetry confidence to perform for the audience. Program length is 60 minutes and is geared towards kids ages 8-13. If you received a Found Object Puppet Legacy Take & Create Art Kit from your local library in July, feel free to bring any unused materials from your kits for a puppet-part swap!
This program, sponsored by Arrowhead Library System and developed by COMPAS, is funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACFH). To learn more about Arrowhead Legacy Events, please like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/alslibinfo.
