Greenwich Historical Society Harmonious Migrations

On November 5, the Greenwich Historical Society is hosting an exciting event from 2 pm  to 4 pm at the Vanderbilt Education Center.  This is a a free, inspiring, and educational puppetry performance and workshop lead by Jim Henson’s daughter Heather Henson and her company IBEX Puppetry, Harmonious Migrations playfully explores the co-existance of people and the endangered whooping crane in North America.

Developed to teach children ages 5–12 about the interconnectivity of the environment and all species, this program focuses specifically on cranes through puppetry, storytelling, and crafts. Participants are introduced to the Native American concepts of the Four Directions, four elements, four medicinal herbs, and four stages of life.

Students will leave this workshop with a new understanding of interconnectivity and respect for indigenous cultures. Harmonious Migrations is science with a conscience and a whole lot of fun!

This program is being offered in collaboration with Greenwich Reads Together. Participants will enjoy an hour performance followed by an interactive workshop with an opportunity to complete a hands-on activity relevant to the show.
