Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course explores a wide range of puppetry styles in their original global and historical contexts, and will apply that knowledge to the student’s understanding of the world around them. Students will explore connections with others on personal, social, educational and global levels through the use of puppetry. Puppetry construction and performance will be a large part of the course. The culmination of the course will be a shared performance highlighting original student-created puppets with a local school, in an effort to explore, in a live setting, the potential impact of puppets in a social/educational setting. This course is for first-semester freshmen only or freshmen transfer students and can be applied toward a theatre emphasis major.
