WORKSHOPS & CAMPS
Explore the world of puppetry through a series of workshops and camps offered to small groups. We make puppets, invent or adapt stories, and learn to manipulate them while developing small performances. Small groups get to try my own set of puppets, too.
Over the years, I have been leading camps and workshops for the UA Museum of the North, UAF Summer Camps, Georgeson Botanical Garden, the AAEC Arts Institute, Bunnell Street Arts. Being able to offer them in my own forested land is a real joy.
These workshops and camps are well suited for anyone who love art, storytelling and a little bit of magic.

Get inspired by our natural environment to develop characters and stories that will be rehearsed and presented on the last day of camp. Kids get to make a variety of puppets that get integrated in the show, work on storytelling and characters' development, puppet exercises, voices and performance.
This is a great camp for anyone who likes art, creativity and storytelling!
Students can repeat camps, as there will always be new stories and puppets to make!
I really liked the class, because we not only made puppets, but also learned how to move with them and how to make it show emotion.
The class also led her to look up more books and videos on puppetry. It was a motivating and inspirational class.

I liked my puppets because the hands are so cool and beautiful. I think they are alive with magic.
I liked making the puppets because I liked the head I picked out because it came out to be funny.
Through all phases of creation, Maïté was our colleague, advisor, collaborator and finally our drama coach as we trooped out into her yard to make our own silly shows. It was an afternoon of pure fun I heartily recommend to anyone, child or adult, who wants to reconnect with their own creativity.
