Puppets can be used for anything and everything. I might start in one direction, then ah woaah nope, & find a way to detach from that idea & choose a new path! - Michelle Warkentin @PuppetFriendzy

A talented creative with a contagious energy!

Heider-Simmel Experiment (1944)

Watching this abstract film of shapes floating around, viewers quickly saw a story unfold. We saw characters, emotions, motivations, & conflict! Even birds!

What does that say about us? Our art & our stories?

It's a continous journey; learning how we can develop a culture together-not just a children's culture & not just an adult or artistic culture-but a way of being together, learning & communicating. With us, our bodies, minds, materials, & sounds as players!

#PuppetPower2018

[lm @lmpopit]

How can we communicate & learn in improvisational ways, rather than telling? What happens in the meeting of something, a movement or material? Even in adult spaces!

#MoveItOrLoseIt #ActiveMinds #ActiveBodies #BrightFutures #PuppetPower2018

[lm @lmpopit]

Creativity is a constant improvisational process. In kids there's a deep desire for animacy, to keep things in movement. Even in the eggs the kids self proclaim as unhatchable & unalive, they end up bursting forth ... smiles across Craigie E012.

"Knowing" has many forms. Open classrooms to this fluidity & pedagogy of finding form.

What happens when kids draw human sized eggs? Draw, play, embody & enact! What's this sense of eggness that's discovered?

Visually imprint on the puppet, the puppet as metaphor. @emcfisher For me it was an arm on a head.

What's your metaphorical YOU?
