GAEA Conference Fall 2024: Full Schedule

9:00am EDT

Puppetry: Full STEAM Ahead!

Friday October 18, 2024 9:00am - 10:20am EDT

Puppets are used around the world! We use puppets to tell stories. Puppets can represent ourselves or be a character and allow us to act out a story, work out problems, and express ourselves. You can do it solo or with others. Puppet characters, props, and sets can be made from simple materials, much of which is cheap or free: wood, paper, metal, leather, cardboard, cardstock,, fabric, chopsticks, rods, dowels, cotton batting, string, pipe cleaners, wires.
