Puppet theatre dreams
Dreams meet puppet theatre
devise, build, play
The school's theme for the year was ‘Dreams’. The children's dreams and imagination meet puppet theatre. We started to draw their fantastic figures with the children (mixed 1st - 6th grade). Their characters were created in small portfolios: Where do you live? What do they like? What are they like? Based on the children's sketches, we made a proposal for realisation and then we worked for a whole week. The children were eager to realise the characters they had previously imagined. And I am proud of their results. They created great figures. When the figures were finished, we met again and again during the week and started to develop scenes with the figures we had built. Here too, the children's ideas took centre stage. Until we were finally able to present the result to the parents on the final evening. It's wonderful to see what has emerged from the children's ideas.
