SUMMER IN THE PUPPET STUDIO
For the first time ever students are invited to a week in the puppet studio. Join Ms. Capezzuti in her private studio for a week of puppetry and performance. Participants in this week-long experience will learn about Capezzuti’s giant puppet collection, design and build their own giant puppet from start to finish and collaborate to create a puppet dance performance. On Friday, we will join the Citiparks Roving Art Cart at Blue Slide Park to see a puppet show, perform for the community, teach other kids how to make puppets and share a picnic lunch. Participants should pack a lunch daily. All materials included in the registration fee.
