Workshops in the Classroom. Individually created to suit the needs and abilities of all grades. Either as an extension from a performance or standing alone, a classroom workshop is an excellent way to involve your students in a multi-media arts activity: Puppetry is the visual arts plus drama and language. It can also incorporate musical activities. And best of all, puppetry is always hugely popular. Students just don't realize how much they are learning! We offer programs in many types of puppetry, and as there are two artists in this company, two classes can have workshops simultaneously.
WHAT EDUCATORS HAVE SAID OF OUR PERFORMANCES "I want to thank you for your fantastic presentation today at Charles How itt P.S. It was the best performance for students I have seen in my 25 years of teaching. Your play was a superb historical “lesson” combined with a well loved fairy tale; your sets were intricate, fascinating and interestingly complex; the way you mixed the puppets in with your own roles made it feel like we were watching a cast of thousands and your performance was flawless. You kept everyone from 9 year olds to us adults enthralled. The students asked such great questions and your answers were really interesting. It was not only the students who applauded your demonstrations after the show – they were as good as the play. I hope that you have a wide enough repertoire that we can have you at our school annually. I think you are awesome performers who have lit a spark in many a heart today. Thanks" Grade 4 Teacher, Charles Howitt P.S. Richmond Hill. "Superior, accomplished performance." Teacher, Regina Mundi S.S. "High quality performance. The enriched vocabulary used is a very necessary element to the development of language skills." Teacher, Blake P.S. "Superb! One of the best performances we have had" Teacher, St. John Bosco S.S. "The show generated a lot of student discussions for the next few days. An excellent program." Teacher, Earl Haig P.S. "The performance was fantastic!" St. Sebastian S.S. "The students, including our sophisticated grade 8's enjoyed the performance. Many students were motivated and asked to make puppets and plays." Teacher, St. Lawrence S.S. "The students were totally absorbed in this production - all of them." Market Lane P.S. For more information please call us at 416-691-0806 or email |
