Technology/Animation Residencies
Puppetry in Practice embraces the use of technology as an integral part of our art education programs. PIP artists work with teachers to integrate new media techniques with existing curriculum maps in English Language Arts, Social Studies, English as a Second Language and other content areas as requested.
