STAR DREAMER
PATH MAKER
In days which time has buried… a very special map was made.
Ruis is launched on a daring journey to a distant island by a vision she can’t shake off. She steals away from the gathering of the two tribes. Old Grandmother sends Daru, her best friend, on a mission to bring Ruis back.
The friends go on different voyages of discovery across land and sea. Each twist and turn brings new challenges. Ruis’s determination is unbreakable. She’s going to realise her vision. So, the friends are pulled far away from each other and their tribes.
Will they ever return home to their own island? How will their journeys change them? Will Ruis and Daru ever meet each other again? What is the extraordinary map that Ruis is trying to create and bring home to her people?
A guide to build simple but wonderful puppets, create stories and make worlds!
After 40 years of creating spectacular puppet theatre with groups in schools and communities around the world, Tony Gee has crystallised his practice in Making Worlds – The Creation Myth Puppets Handbook. This is a practical guide to make simple accessible puppets brought to life by Charlie Narewski’s illustrations.
From the early days of making these shows produced by children and other groups, it was apparent that a certain magic was afoot. The sheer joy the creative act of being maker and performer brought to the participants was so infectious that whole school communities were changed by the experience. Our book is designed to open this magic to all creative educators, play therapists, parents and of course, children as well.
“We can reignite the creative compassion of our communities if we think differently.” Ken Robinson
In here you will find how to make over twenty different animal, bird, reptile and human puppets from simple materials, stories from around the world and explanations of how to bring the puppets to life. More than enough to make your own brilliant puppet theatre.
