Join performer, instructor, and choreographer of Woodstock Arts' Mamma Mia, Annie, and Spring Awakening Alex Self for a choreography workshop that will prepare you for all of your upcoming auditions! This workshop is open to all high schoolers and will help students feel more prepared to picking up choreography quickly and perform it with pizzazz! Students will learn and perform multiple combos and strengthen their dance call audition skills. 

Join us at our Dia De Los Muertos Festival on the Woodstock Arts Event Green and learn about the origins of Mexican candle making and its cultural significance!

The instructor will lead a demonstration and then participants will create their own handcrafted beeswax candle using traditional methods. Take home a one-of-a-kind candle made with care and heritage.

Ages 15+

Start with the pieces. Leave with a puppet!

In this hands-on workshop for makers ages 16 and up, each participant will build their own Boopos Blank puppet with instruction from Sam Carter.

You'll choose your puppet's head shape before the workshop and then learn how its components come together to create an articulated character ready to move, gesture, pose, and develop a personality of its own.

Whether you're interested in puppetry, character design, fabrication, performance—or simply want to spend a few hours making something wonderfully unusual—no previous puppet-building experience is necessary.

This workshop is for individual builders rather than pairs, and every registered participant builds and leaves with their own puppet.

The workshop fee includes one Boopos Blank puppet, all necessary building materials and components, and hands-on instruction from Sam Carter.
