"The kids did such a professional job today. There were about 25 in attendance from several cities. The kids did a great presentation, puppet show and instructing the attendees how to use the puppets. It was comical as always. We were able to borrow some Chinese music and the Chinese enjoyed being able to have the puppets sing in Chinese! "
Some of those in attendance traveled 5 hours each way in order to be there. There really seems to be an interest! I don't have any pictures from yesterday, but so that you can see their enthusiasm and interest, here are some pictures from the workshop they did last year (in April of '05).
Here are the American puppetry "experts," sharing their techniques. They look so young! (I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing next year about this year's pictures...)
Here, they were learning proper hand placement, practicing moving only the thumb. (Harder than one would think!)
Then they got their turn, which they LOVED.They had a lot of fun with it. Here, they were performing the "Laughing Song," which, as you
can see, transcends any language barrier.
"Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them.' " Psalm 126:2
