PUCES POP FESTIVAL MONTREAL

Puppet Making Workshop

This October I participated in the Pop Montreal Festival as Musician, Workshop leader, craft maker and exhibiter.  I was asked to organize a puppet making workshop for the Pop Montreal Festival.  The series of workshops was organized for the pop montreal festival as part of this years KIDS POP.  All workshops took place at the Mile End Cultural Centre at 214 Bernard.

As a participant for the ShOW & Tell Event as part of the Puces Pop DIY (Do IT YOURSELF) section of the Pop Montreal Festival,  I exhibited my silkscreen prints and some of my hand puppets at the Green Room.  The puppets were made in collaboration with Arthur Desmarteaux.  I also sold my prints and embroidered shirts at the Puce Pop MArket, and played my trombone with my brother Bradley Thomas Moore for his show at the KGB.  (I played one song), making for a very amazing, busy schedule at this year's festival.

The Puppet Making Workshop was a successful event with many participants.  Although most people were under 10 years of age, the parents who brought the puppeteers were just as eager to dig in and make some puppet magic.  I brought my home-made crafted Shadow Puppet Theatre to test out the finished results.  We made mostly Brown Paper Bag puppets for the little ones... but later made some shadow puppets to try out the stage.  

Thank you to Puces Pop and the Pop Montreal Festival for such a great event, and especially to JENNY CRAIG who organized the DIY, craft market, the Show & Tell etc, etc....
