Overview

"This project is an exploration of creating remote, puppet-based drama curriculum for an Indigenous Community school in Ontario, Canada. Using Zoom to facilitate classes, I worked with two elementary teachers to develop eight lessons that gave students the opportunity to design, create and perform with handmade puppets. The result of my research and this project's implementation is a reflection on my experiences that is intended to help educators and teaching artists bring accessible, effective drama-based curricula to students in geographically or culturally remote spaces." -- Abstract
