Puppeting Towards Preservation: A Political Puppet Workshop

About Facilitator

Fae is a multidisciplinary artist creating at the intersection of queerness, liberation, and futurity. They draw hope and inspiration from outsider artists, resistance movements, and DIY performance lineages. When not making art, Fae is a careworker for people with disabilities and organizes with their neighborhood mutual aid group.

Objective

 In this workshop we will make puppets around Nature School’s theme of preservation. Beginners and experts alike are welcome as we playfully experiment with the puppet form together and explore its potential as a performance tool for a more beautiful and liberated world.

What To Bring (Optional)

• Fun costume, mask or fabric
• Any craft supplies are welcome
• Favorite instrument or noisemaker

Disclaimer

We will not be fabricating any puppets in this workshop, instead we will use found objects and our environment to create the necessary characters and set for our mini-performance!
