LEAD Academy Workshops Kick Off the New Year!


Deliciously Happy is moving right along!  We started new workshops this week with Carmen Mims and LEAD Academy.  The students at LEAD will be working with paper puppets, creating stories in groups of 3.  The students will choose to show their story visually as a shadow box, an animation, or as a shadow puppet performance.  We jumped right in, having the film crew with us on day 1!!  The students talked with guest artist and paper puppet creator, Emma Klingbeil, and participated in an exercise where they created stories using her paper puppets.  Next week, the students will begin building their own paper puppets and we'll talk about gesture and movement. Hope you are off to a great 2012!
