![]() During the last four months, I have had the pleasure of teaching with Eastern Michigan University Bright Futures 21st Century Community Learning Centers. I have been teaching puppetry classes at a handful of the program's sites, ranging from 2nd grade to 8th grade students. My class was titled "Puppetry 101." The class was essentially a survey of many different puppetry styles, learning about and designing/performing a new technique every-other week. While we created many, many puppets throughout the four months and were very creative - we focused mainly on developing teamwork and collaborating together in order to bring a puppet character to life and develop performances. The Puppetry techniques we covered were; • Table-Top/Bunraku • Paper Bag Puppets • Hand Puppets • Rod Puppets • Marionettes From the Bright Futures Website; "EMU’s 21CCLC Bright Futures are high quality after school programs.
