Workshop
Description
This one-day workshop will introduce
participants to one of the traditional craft methods of mold
making, which has been used for centuries to produce marionettes,
hand puppets, masks etc. In this workshop, participants will
learn how to take their own sculpted form, make a mold and
lay it up with papier-mâché. Because of drying
times participants will learn the assembly process, finishing
and painting on a pre-molded form prepared by Alexander.

| In
the Heart of the Beast: Puppet & Mask Theatre |
Mission
To
bring people together for the common good through the
power of puppet and mask performance.
What
We Do
Puppetry’s power lies in the act of transformation
– of bringing something inanimate to life. This
act in itself speaks to our lives, which rise and fall
and rise again. As we share this act of building and
performing, we find that theater brings people together.
It builds community. It is with great respect and awe
that we see the power and joy of this ancient art flourish
in unsuspecting ways and places.

RED WAGON COLLECTIVE: DONATIONS NEEDED:
fabric, wool, embroidery floss, needles, crochet hooks, old
sweaters
RED WAGON COLLECTIVE was formed in 2006 in response to our desire
to deepen our artistic, collaborative, and community-engaged
practices through residency projects that would enable us to
develop both intensive and extensive relationships in the Junction
- a rapidly changing neighbourhood in Toronto's west end. We
share a desire to work collaboratively with artists and non-artists
to create work that inspires new conversations; softens boundaries
between groups separated by age, culture, ability, and economic
status; promotes the presence of art in everyday life and contributes
to increasing public engagement in community development. The
work we create with communities is used in producing exhibitions,
public installations, and celebratory performance events.We
are currently working within the walls of the Evangeline Shelter.
