*Puppetry, Mask, and Street performing Workshop with the Possibilitarian
Puppet Theater*

What does it mean to transform a park into a puppet theater stage?  Why
bother presenting theater under the sun, out in the streets, putting it
directly in front of the public at large, which also means at their mercy?
Puppetry, Mask, and street performance is ancient form of theater which has
existed since before humans built theaters or invented ticket prices and
income brackets.  It's inevitably a participatory theater, since traffic,
conversations, wind, and bird whistles become collaborators in the creation
of the experience.

*The Possibilitarian Puppet Theater is offering a **Free Crash Course
Workshop on Sunday, July 22th, from 1-5pm *at Fairview Park, a public park
in Ohio City on the near west side of Cleveland.  Participants will be
thrown into the special blend of how's and why's that is a Possibilitarian
street performance, which will then actually be performed in two parks:
Fairview Park (the public park!) on Thursday July 26th at 7pm, and in
Coventry Village park on Sunday July 29th at 2pm.  Participation in one or
both performances is a mandatory part of participation in the workshop, and
promises to be the fun part.  Please register as soon as possible, but no
later than Friday, July 20th for planning purposes by calling Daniel at
215-771-8287.
