Jerry
offers workshops tailored for students from grade 7-12 to
college level in a performing arts curriculum. The workshop
provides a specific focus on the ninteenth century classic
medicineman character and show format. Jerry introduces the
various characters he has developed, and the cast of puppets
and props used to create his shows. A discussion of Jerry’s
mentoring influences — such as Utah Phillips, the celebrated
folksinger; Avner The Eccentric, a European clown; Roberto
Morganti, a champion juggler; and the Flying Karamazov Brothers
juggling team — provides a sense of theory and practice.
Colorful and heartwarming stories about the development of
Jerry's characters history and street-performing experiences
make this time with him a valued experience. A single 50-minute
class period is doable but very rushed. Two hours is best.
The opportunity to go out to a school lunch period and put
on an actual street performance as a finale is the icing on
the cake, and may make it a half-day event. Jerry provides
some props and tools for the class to keep. |
