INTERNATIONAL RESIDENCIES
We’re going global! One of our dreams is to travel the world and collaborate with different nationalities while teaching how to build puppets and tell stories. This year the Virgin Island Department of Education brought Paperhand to St. Croix! We got children excited about reading by creating puppets from characters in literature, highlighting Caribbean authors. Contact Donovan Zimmerman at paperhandd@gmail.com to bring Paperhand Puppets to your place in the world! (Interplanetary will also be considered)
PARADES, EVENTS, CELEBRATIONS, PUPPET ROVING
Wedding at the Haw River Ballroom
Bring Paperhand Puppet Intervention to your event! Paperhand can provide a puppet parade, roving masked characters in costume, giant three to six person puppets, beautiful silk flags and other original items that will help make your event unique and memorable. And if the mood fits, we can add drums, original music or a percussive element!
Event pricing depends on the number of puppets/Puppeteers/Musicians needed, the length of the event, travel necessities and travel time.
