Workshop description:
The Folly Tree Arboretum Storytelling Workshop is a project-based outdoor arts and performance camp for kids ages 8 – 12 and takes place over two weeks. The Workshop guides kids to explore their own creativity through dramatic play, making, and discovering relationships between ecology and the arts. Participants will be inspired by outdoor exploration and an introduction to our gardens, trees, and pollinator insects. Project-based hands-on collaborative workshops will include improv games; storytelling exercises; narrative and abstract puppetry; mask, costume, and prop play; and include learning about the natural sciences throughout. In 2024, the workshop will focus specifically on storytelling and performing for camera, filmmaking, and the cinematic arts. The 9 day workshop culminates with a screening of the film project attendees have worked together to create!
