WETLAND DOME this event that is both interactive and educational. Through animating puppets on sticks, the audience understand how important wetland for the creatures that rely on them.
The event brings awareness, informing the participants about how our eco system is connected… wetlands, oceans, rivers, streams, lakes, deltas and estuaries all need to be preserved to protect our fish and wildlife and us.
After all, wetlands are much like our kidneys, they filter the water in lakes, rivers, and streams, reduce pollution and flooding.
This inflatable needs a site approximately 25 by 40 feet.
Each event lasts 25 minutes to a half hour
3 to 4 times a day, depending on the length of event.
ABOUT THE STORY
Inside the some the children create an interactive story. The children animate creatures that live and survive in the wetlands with stick wetland puppets. I have a variety of puppets such as; salmon, butterflies, ducks, dragonflies and birds.
This event can stand on it’s own or you can add costumes parades and dances.
At the Once upon a Time Festival sponsored by Metro Vancouver, the children rehearsed their play about wetland creatures inside the dome and performed it outside under the tent for the parents. Refer to photos on page.
