Children and adults will have a greater understanding of how their vocal tract is used and will learn how it can be manipulated. They will also learn how tone can have an impact on language. Attendees will find their perception of ventriloquism and puppetry altered as not merely a form of entertainment but also one of art. They will gain knowledge of how this art form has been used and evolved throughout history. Participant evaluations will be collected.
All who attended this event enjoyed a very memorable time. The kids squealed with delight and giggled and laughed while the adults appreciated the talent involved in ventriloquism.
