Midsummer Festival of Puppetry Arts
A Collaborative Showcase
We welcome you to join us, from the comfort of your own location, for a virtual celebration of the gifts of storytelling and puppetry arts in a Midsummer Festival of Puppetry Arts! In lieu of our East Coast conference because of pandemic restrictions, this year we invite artists, educators, and therapists who are working out of Waldorf inspiration to share their essential work with others! Our event will open at 1pm (ET) on July 25th with an exploration of the theme, “Imaginal Forces and the Power of Healing,” to be followed by short video clips of puppet story presentations and a reflection from their creators.
Donations to this event will support the formation of an association for threefold storytelling and puppetry arts. For more information, please contact Marjorie Rehbach.
For people registering for the festival or joining the association after 7am ET on July 25, you will receive a recording instead of the live event. We will let you know when that will be ready for viewing. Of course joining the association is an ongoing opportunity!
