Community Arts |
Oddball Puppets has experience of working with these key groups: |
Primary Schools |
| Oddball puppets have
worked with Primary school children for many years and know that puppetry
and craft workshops can be popular with the kids. Oddball Puppets
can provide fun and educational arts experiences. Such as designing and make African influenced costume for a dance or play, which could involve learning about sewing and printing. Or encourage children to make hand or shadow puppets based on a popular tale or story such as little red riding hood. Meaning them working as a team and helping with literacy. |
Secondary Schools/Youth groups |
| Teenagers can be a difficult group to target and in my experience basing the project on something they can relate to can enhance there interest and involvement in the project. This could be an issue that they could discuss or use of special equipment. For example we could work with a small group of teenagers to develop a stop motion animation piece. Or work with a youth group to develop a art piece based on the issue of smoking. |
Adult groups |
| Oddball Puppets can teach you many disciplines either alone or as a group these skills include, puppetry, mask making, lantern making and stop-motion animation. |
 |
Special needs |
Oddball puppets are also experienced in delivering workshops at children’s parties, festivals, markets and fairs. |
| These silk flags were made by children at Big Time a community arts activity weekend for st pauls market, Bristol. |
Involvement
in arts projects has been proven to be therapeutic and an enjoyable
activity for both children and adults. It can encourage team involvement,
develop cultural knowledge, evoking issue-based discussion, introduce
participants to new materials and craft ideas, and develop untapped
artistic potential. Being involved in arts and crafts activities
will build confidence in all participants. Oddball puppets have
extensive experience in developing community arts projects, creating
exciting, inclusive workshops that stretch the imagination, inspire
and amuse. Oddball puppets aim to use recycled materials, and to
minimise the environmental impact of our projects wherever possible.
Oddball
Puppets have experience in worked with children and adults with
special needs on a variety of projects. Oddball puppets can provide
simple arts activities specially designed for this group.  |
