[Michlib-l] PuppetART - performers

[Dave Ewick]

Hello Everyone,
Southfield is the new home of PuppetART, formerly located in downtown Detroit.  PuppetART is partnering with the Southfield Public Library for some performances & workshops and I wanted to share their info with other libraries.

They are a non-profit company that has been in operation over 20 years. They are classically trained puppeteers originally from Russia, but they present tales from around the world and do so in the most exquisite manner.  They use marionettes, stick puppets, hand puppets, and even whole body puppets to tell stories like the Snow Queen, Anansi, The Crane Maiden, Turtle Island, Sleeping Beauty and The Firebird.  

Additionally, they do workshops for children on building puppets; and more in depth workshops for adults on creating puppets/presenting puppet shows.  

These guys are amazing! I highly recommend their work. I've attached two pdf files of their brochures but if you want to learn more you can also visit their website at: www.puppetart.org .  

Have a great Summer Reading Program!
Dave
