Puppet and Story Circle (Ages 8-12)
Workshop Facilitators: Şirin Keskin – Ceyda Akel
Time: 14:00 - 15:30
As part of the Owia Ponte – Art Community, this special workshop—facilitated by Emre Coşkuner and carried out in collaboration with the experienced instructors of Kumbaracı50—invites children to design their own puppets using recycled materials while experiencing the excitement of creating a story with them.
The Puppet and Story Circle encourages children both to expand their individual modes of expression and to create collectively within a group. Throughout the workshop, each child assigns new meanings to the materials at hand to create a character; these characters then come together to become part of a collective story. In this process, objects considered as “waste” are reshaped through imagination, allowing children to form new connections between nature, creativity, and collaboration.
