Workshop openings

There is still room in some of our summer workshops. 

On Wednesday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m., juggler Nate the Great is returning to the Macedon Public Library.  This year he will be holding a juggling workshop for teenagers.  Nate learned to juggle when he was seven, one stubborn afternoon at the YMCA with 3 tennis balls he borrowed from his Dad’s tennis bag.  He has been juggling and doing acrobatics-stuff ever since.  He is just clever enough to imitate the best internet juggling videos, and also just dim and determined enough to imitate those videos well.  So if you are age 13 or older and have always wanted to learn a cool skill to impress your friends, or just keep your hands busy, stop in and sign-up for Nate’s workshop.

On Thursday, August 11 at 2:00 p.m., Melanie Zimmer of Dancing Bear Puppet Theater is going to show us how to make a marionette out of a scarf and then teach us how to manipulate it like a real puppeteer!  The Dancing Bear Puppet Theater is an itinerant theater located in Central New York that travels throughout the Northeastern United States and beyond performing stories of imagination and enchantment.  Melanie and her puppets will be visiting us on Wednesday, August 3 at 2:00 p.m., to perform “The Littlest Pirate”, but has agreed to return with this wonderful workshop.  As Melanie says, “Storytelling is my passion, puppetry is my joy, and the Dancing Bear Puppet Theater is my stage.” So, please join us for the performance and, if you are age 8 or older, come learn how to make your own joy on August 11.

Don't know what a scarf marionette is.  Visit this youtube video.  Although it's not Melanie, it is a great visual:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq6vpJgdVgg
