Artists in Residence
What is an 'Artist in Residence'?
An Artist in Residence is a wonderful opportunity to have an in depth
artistic experience in all aspects of puppet theatre production and performance. Schools or
communities typically book 1-3 weeks of time with Wendy. Together we plan a range of activities
from puppet making, script writing, character development and performance that meet your goals and
logistical needs.
Past participants have said:
- "The creative skills and activities were
absolutely age appropriate and engaging, I think the students were challenged to think outside
the box which was great to see!"
TWO RESIDENCES TO CHOOSE FROM:
1) The Tailored Residency is planned with the teachers, is specific to your schools chosen themes and curricula being taught at the time of the residence. The extra planning time is reflected in a higher cost.
2) The Keylock Residency is comprised of our most popular and successful lesson plans for each grade level. It includes a variety of puppet genres and curriculum subject links. The fee for this residency is less.

Community Workshops
We offer workshops for all sorts of community events and organizations. From
Beaver groups and birthday parties to country fairs or family reunions we can design a suitable
and fun puppet activity. Puppets can even provide a creative break during a conference for
adults or become a more formal course at an arts retreat.

Professional Development & Student Workshops
Linking puppet experiences with education curricula has long been a
feature of W.P. Puppet Theatre workshops for both student workshops and teacher professional
development. Our practical puppet project ideas that connect with core and arts curricula allow
teachers immediate implementation. Our student workshops incorporate both hands on creation and
performance opportunities supporting multiple literacy learning areas.
Past participants said:
- "Wow! Fabulous—lots of great ideas for
the classroom that are practical and yet full of 'adventure'!" (teacher)
- "I enjoyed learning all the tekneaks of being a pupeterr. Thanks so much Wendy." (student)
