Join us for an exciting and fun puppet-making workshop where creativity meets sustainability!
In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre (HOBT) will be at Gammelgården Museum with two teaching artists who will provide a 2-hour puppet making workshop on the theme of celebrating Midsummer, Summer, and/or flowers. This is a workshop for participants of all ages – from children in Kindergarten through adults. Participants younger than 16 years old should be accompanied by an adult.
Registration is required as there are a limited number of spots available. Registrations will be accepted through EventBrite and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
INFORMATION ABOUT HOBT
You will start with water, flour, newspaper, and paint. Add a large measure of imagination and a dollop ofartistry to make stories about our world come alive through puppets. This is in the Heart of the Beast’s 50-year-old puppet recipe.
Since 1973, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre has helped to create and cultivate the puppetry community in the Twin Cities.
HOBT is a community of artists working within the larger community to create magic together. They make puppets large and small, monstrous, beautiful, silly, human, plant, and animal.
You can see many of their puppets at their Free Puppet Library every first and third Saturday of the month; and they often visit community spaces to engage with neighbors around the Twin Cities Metro and beyond!
They use gestures, voice, form, and color, giving life to puppets that help tell stories to represent the world as it is and as we dream it could be.
