Testimonial
"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."

Program Length
3 in-classroom sessions, 45 minutes per session
1) Metamorphoses Puppet Song and Dance followed immediately by storytelling of "Frog Song" by Brenda Z. Guiberson (outdoors or indoors)
2) Puppet-making in classroom (outdoors or indoors)
3) Final Puppetry Techniques Movement workshop (outdoors strongly suggested)
*Note: While sometimes I have only done the puppet-making section for this program, it works best as a 2-day program to include storytelling & puppet-making together for a full 75 minutes first. Then I return for a shorter 30-45 minute program to teach the participants how to use the puppet.

Technical Specifications
Chair for Teaching Artist for Storybook reading.
Tables for students to create their frog puppets.
Open Space for the opening presentation of the workshop with at 10'x10' cleared area for sharing my frog puppet and to maintain proper social distancing.
Open Space is also needed for our final day/workshop, so clearing the desks/tables to create a "dance" space in the classroom makes the space safe for full bodied movements!
