Puppets and Songs for Peace with Connie Manson: Saturday January 25, 2025 (2:00 pm - 3:30 pm ET)
The Story of Peter Parrot & The Documentary "The Singing Revolution"
The delightful children's story shares the antics of Peter Parrot, and how he learns through song to contribute to his community of neighboring animals in the rainforest.
The story will be shared in a live presentation using glove finger puppetry and music. Following the puppet storytelling, we'll spend time on tips to craft finger puppet characters for the children's story.
Together we'll dive into the unfoldment of events from the documentary "The Singing Revolution" and share reflections on how we can bring key qualities into everyday experience as a practice in peace making.
About the documentary 'The Singing Revolution': Most people don’t think about singing when they think about revolution. But song was the weapon of choice when Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. The Singing Revolution is an inspiring account of one nation’s dramatic rebirth. It is the story of humankind’s irrepressible drive for freedom and self-determination.
