Fox Folk Friends Workshops

FFM&F offers a variety of workshop experiences to enhance our performances or educate groups about puppets and puppetry.

Workshop 1

LEARN

Puppet Show & Tell

Our expert puppet team shares their knowledge of puppets and puppetry with the audience in an informal learning setting. Students and adults are free to ask questions and puppeteers will share an up-close look at the puppets, how they are manipulated, and other behind-the scenes information that will delight and surprise the audience with a look into this ancient art form.

Workshop 2

LEARN

The World of Puppets 

This educational workshop is great for any setting. Audience members will be treated to a look into the history of puppetry from around the world. Our puppet team will share its collection of puppets from around the world. Mask, shadow, hand, rod, finger, and marionettes will be featured. Expect a few surprises along the way!

Workshop 3

CREATE

Make It & Take It!

This workshop can be adapted to age appropriate levels for its participants to introduce them to the imaginative art of puppetry. This is a great way for school and library shows to tie puppetry to language arts, reading, writing, and literacy. Participants will receive materials to create puppets based on the theme story chosen by the group. Tables to work on will be needed. We will furnish the puppet-making materials: scissors, glue stick, markers, crayons, and whatever else is needed. The activity will culminate in a short performance by all participants. If younger children are involved, it may be helpful to have older children or adults assist with cutting, gluing, and the like.
