Subject: PUPT: An introduction and proposal information



--part1_169.125207f9.2a90fd5b_boundary

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to this list but already I find the posts fascinating. I am a
professional storyteller and I live in Massachusetts. Many of my friends use
puppetry with their stoyrtelling and I am also interested in learning how to
incorporate it into my stories. Nothing too elaborate as I know the art of
puppetry takes great skill and years of practice. I look forward to learning
from all of you.

That being said, I would like to offer some information the Sharing the Fire
Conference in Massachusetts. It is the premier storytelling conference for
New England which takes place every March at MIT in Boston. We are currently
accepting proposals. I am including the submission information below if
anyone is interested. For addition information you can go to www.LANES.org.=20I
do hope many of you will consider submitting a workshop proposal.

warm regards,
Karen Chace
