ACHF Arts Education
Participants will find their voice in the medium of contemporary puppetry, skills and techniques to construct puppets as well as how to perform different types of puppets, gaining artistic skills and necessary experience to be able to envision creating contemporary puppet theater, gaining ability and/or confidence to participate in puppet productions of other theaters and companies. Interviews/formal surveys with participants and workshop leaders as well as check-ins during the workshops so we can change things in the moment if it's not going smoothly. We will track demographics so we can see how to better promote to be inclusive of all the diversity within our community, we also track participants participation in other puppetry opportunities around the Twin Cities, and how many decide to be a part of the commissioning project and re-engagement with future workshops, importance is placed both on the tangible outcomes of our project as well as transformative changes within the participants.
100% of Intensive participants felt confident enough in having learned the basics that they agreed to participate in the 2018 New Puppetworks program. One Intensive participant is creating a shadow puppet show for kids that will be presented by Heart of the Beast in March. Another Intensive participant performed in a local puppet artist’s piece at the Full Moon show at Open Eye in November.
