Thanks to our Sponsor, the Community Foundation of West Georgia, Hobey Ford will return to the Townsend Center to teach a three day workshop for children in the first installment of our summer program titled Inspiration Station - Inspiring Children to pursue their Artistic Dreams. Developed in conjunction with The Kennedy Center Partnership In Education program, “Telling Folktales With Shadow Puppetry” combines storytelling with shadow puppetry to bring a variety of cultures to life.

Winner of puppetry's highest honor, the UNIMA Citation of Excellence, Hobey Ford is renowned on stages around the globe, from Calgary to Singapore. As a recipient of three Jim Henson Foundation grants, Ford is known for excellence in puppetry performance and craft, especially for his intricate shadow puppetry and original rod puppets, the "Foamies." He uses his own voice to create characters and sound effects, tell stories, and sing.
Rainbow Bridge brings to life three folktales from the traditions of the Native American Chumash tribe, the rain forests of Puerto Rico, and Olde World Norway. |
