Next weekend one of North America's most renouned
puppeteers is giving a workshop for teachers in(or anyone who works
with puppets or children!) Sonoma, and I just
have heard that there may still some spaces available for sign up. He
is Luman Coad and I highly recommend his shows and workshop. He has
been performing in schools in his home country of Canada for 35 years
as well as around the world. This is a rare opportunity for Bay Area
teachers to learn from him.
If teachers can't make Luman's workshop, another great puppet person,
Lynn Jennings will also be teaching a workshop for teachers in
February. All of these great events (and shows) are part of the
Sonoma Community Center Winter Puppetry Festival. The link below
takes you to their website. Please help spread the word.
