I don't usually have time to participate much on Pupcrit, but my company is on a short break. Your project sound really interesting. I worked with a 4th grade class introducing both a Malaysian Myth poem, "the Shell", and the feel of Wayang shadow puppetry. I am by no means on your level, but I think it is very important for our American youth to experience foreign cultures. I got most of my information from speaking to shadow puppeteers and reading. It was an interesting project. Some students played percussion and reed instruments and all created their puppets using traditional forms copied onto Acetate and performed the myth. It was exciting to see them experience this amazing story telling art form. I would love to hear more about the project you are working on. You're right it sounds a bit risky on the content side and very interesting. Please keep in touch either on Pupcrit or to my direct e-mail. Best, Liz K.
