"Speaking Beyond Words" Puppet Treehouse in Jerusalem with Shutaf!
We had a fantastic time bringing our workshop to Shutaf, a non-profit organization for children with autism. We faced the question: how do you create a meaningful workshop for children of varying communication abilities, especially when do you don't speak their language?! We decided to bring in Rocky, whose first language is only understood by three human beings on Earth, to lead a workshop asking "How do we communicate without language?" The kids had a blast as we learned how to dialogue without words. The entire experience reinforced that puppets can truly communicate beyond all barriers and we learned so much from our friends. We can't wait to come back! L'hitraot! |
