Giant Puppet Dance Club
Falk ’ s Giant Puppet Dance Club offers Middle School students a unique chance to design and perform in their own puppet costumes .
“ Middle school can be a time where kids feel self-conscious ,” says Middle School art teacher Cheryl Capezzuti , a master puppeteer who created Giant Puppet Dance Club . “ But when you put yourself in a giant puppet , you can dance around and nobody knows who you are . A lot of the kids say that ’ s really freeing .”
