And finally, we began to create our puppets and scenery for this Inuit story - or a portion of it- and rehearse our final presentation.


 
My group reached consensus very quickly on how we wanted to tell this story.  Even when we disagreed, we were able to come around to the same point of view after discussion.  Each group had different interpretations of the story.  The performance was so much fun to watch and to do. 



Ours was the most literal, but we loved the symbolism of the Inuit drum and revolved much of our rendering around that.  We used shadow puppets during the dream sequence and ensemble puppets for the rest.  If we had had more time, we would have made smaller puppets and used drums as a landscape that they traversed.  I'm proud of what we achieved in such a short time.
