Project Title: Tales from the Great Swamp Puppetry Collaboration Project
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The arts have an unmatched capacity to uplift, unite, and motivate children. To that end, TALES FROM THE GREAT SWAMP focuses on several small animal characters living in the Highlands that demonstrate the roles a child can play and the difference a child can make while introducing them to the natural world. Throughout the adventure, our characters together overcome obstacles and seek guidance from their elders as they navigate their way. Understanding different people and their cultures is one of the best ways we can learn from each other and ourselves. By introducing the four spirits, which are represented in Lenap\u00e9 folklore as grandparents and the change of seasons, children gain a deeper, nuanced understanding from a different perspective of the connection between both nature and our nation\u2019s history. We hope this storyline will encourage a multi-generational response from our audience. The production promotes the understanding and appreciation of green, healthy environments, particularly for their educational and recreational values. They will learn that the drinking water depended on by residents of Newark and Jersey City comes exclusively from nearby Highlands reservoirs, forests and open spaces owned by their cities. If those reservoirs and\/or open spaces become polluted or degraded, the harmful impact on their lives would be profound.<\/p>\n
