Finding Mufasa
Dates: July 13-17, 1-3pm. Grades 2- 5. Cost $15. Class Capacity: 15 Location: Mongerson Theater, 37 N Buffalo Street. This workshop will focus on storytelling through movement and puppetry. The stage version of The Lion King uses many elements to create an animal world based on a cartoon, one of which is puppetry. The puppets used reveal character traits and create a larger than life scenic landscape. Not the usual “puppet” but rather shadow, mask, and technical elements are used, with the actors making themselves the puppet through movement. We examine different kinds of puppets, maybe make our own, experiment with movement exercises and tell a story of our making with puppets that tell the story by their appearance and movement.
