Whaleboats- A Puppetry Lab with Concrete Temple Theatre
May 19, 2024 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Ahoy, Matey!
Join Concrete Temple Theatre in “Ahoy, Matey!” a puppet workshop for out-of-the-box thinkers that will have participants bringing inanimate objects to life and creating magical wonders with just a bit of wood, string, and wire.
Participants in the workshop are exposed to different forms of puppetry as they create their own whaleboats* and bring them to life. Participants begin the workshop by learning about whales and writing simple stories, based on a common theme; they create a storyboard for the story, and then create the whaleboat drawn in the storyboard. The workshop culminates in a final presentation in which the participants share their stories.
*A whaleboat is a type of open boat that was once used for catching whales. Some whaleboats were launched from whaling ships.
