Anti-bullying Workshops (for Fynn Dragon and the Ugly Bugs)
Alongside their show Fynn Dragon and the Ugly Bugs , WishWorks offer two different anti-bullying and puppet making workshops:
Workshop A:
Make papier mache rod puppets over 2 half days, full of expression and inspiring character.
Use these puppets to encourage empathy and explore the different roles involved in bullying and the different courses of action open to each one. Learn puppet manipulation, forum theatre techniques and exercises to celebrate our differences and similarities, as well as effective teamwork.
Workshop B:
Spend 2 ½-3 hours per group making simple rod puppets and talking about the different roles involved in bullying. Celebrate your differences and similarities and those of your puppets, and explore different courses of action possible in different bullying situations.
