In our puppet-making workshops, we introduce children to one or more styles of puppetry. She was trained in leading puppetry workshops by Carol Daniel, the previous director of PPC, and has passed that training to the other puppeteers. She has taught acting and movement to children from ages 4 through high school for organizations like Georgia Ensemble Theatre, Callanwolde Arts Center, and Let’s Pretend Drama, Inc. We reach out to outside organizations for example, our show “Butterfly Ballad” was developed with help from the butterfly center at Callaway Gardens.ĭirector Nancy Riggs began teaching drama classes for summer camps in the late 1980’s. Each show is well researched and incorporates Georgia Performance Standards. Piccadilly Puppets has been developing puppet shows with educational content for decades with the help of Young Audiences/Arts for Learning.
Shows are fun, fast-paced, usually interactive, and always engaging. The facts on the subject matter are artfully woven into the story so that children can learn without being lectured. Then we choose methods that will best tell the story, using different styles of puppetry, and often original music. Our philosophy is that the story always comes first. We use stories to enhance the school curriculum.
