「當代偶戲教育推廣」是藝術村年度營運的重要計畫之一，每年邀請專業師資走入校園與社區，或於藝術村舉辦主題工作坊，讓不同背景、年齡的學習者，能在多元活動中接觸這門充滿創造力的藝術。
「偶戲」是一門綜合藝術，內容涵蓋創意肢體開發、戲劇遊戲、戲偶設計與製作。我們的課程中特別融入 19 世紀歐洲盛行的微型劇場（Toy Theater，又稱玩具劇場或紙劇場），並延伸出多樣化的遊戲與創意應用。我們鼓勵學習者以想像力開啟新的思維，探索不同媒材的可能。偶戲不僅是一種學習方法，更是創作、工藝、故事與情感的交織，在遊戲般的學習中體驗文化、理解人性，並培養創造力與表達力。透過這些課程，讓教育不只是知識的傳遞，更是生活與藝術緊密之連結。
近年開發之 「立體故事屋」 課程受到各界的廣大迴響，其核心在於偶戲的跨領域特質：製作結合美術工藝，表演融合戲劇與口語表達，劇本創作啟發語文想像與敘事力；透過角色扮演，更能引導同理心與換位思考，讓倫理、情感與社會議題化為具象經驗。偶戲因此成為結合多學科的重要媒介，也是藝術教育中極具啟發性的途徑。
Where imagination meets craft, story, and play
Contemporary puppetry education and outreach are among the core annual programs of the Art Village. Each year, we invite professional instructors into schools and communities or host thematic workshops within the Village itself, offering students, teachers, and enthusiasts opportunities to engage with this highly creative art form.
Puppetry is a multidisciplinary practice that weaves together creative movement, drama games, puppet design and construction, and the tradition of Toy Theater (or Story Theater)—a miniature stage form that flourished in early 19th-century Europe. Our curriculum also features acclaimed programs such as Story Theater, celebrated for its power to connect across disciplines: linking visual arts with craft-making, performance with drama and voice, and scriptwriting with narrative imagination.
Most importantly, through role-playing, participants are guided toward empathy and perspective-taking, transforming abstract ethical, emotional, and social issues into tangible experiences. In this way, puppetry becomes not just a learning method but a vital medium where creativity, storytelling, and cultural exploration converge.
In essence, puppetry education is more than knowledge—it is a living bond between art and life.
