Designing Workshops
For Children...
With an BFA in Sculpture and another degree in Art History, Marilyn Price created
all her puppets with many purposes in mind: to help tell the story, to make
the audience aware of their own creativity and to utilize any and all objects
that seem to be lying around the house. Nothing is safe! Cartons, boxes, old
clothes, new clothes, hardware, feather dusters, kitchen equipment ... the
list is endless! Marilyn
often works with children in schools, camps and museums, to create puppets
with even the youngest of children. For example, Streganona, the Italian folk
hero, comes to life for young children, starting with ... a pasta box! Puppets
and programs can be customized to meet a theme or curriculum goal.
...and for Adults
Marilyn has taught teachers, parents, rabbis, librarians, CEOs
and other professionals how to use storytelling, or puppetry and visual
arts to hone their presentation skills. Her theme with adults is to
pull out their imaginations and reintroduce them to long forgotten
fancy.
