Teaching Artist
Damon Young
Damon has been with the Center for Puppetry Arts for 15 years, and is the Lead Teaching Artist in the Education Department. He loves learning new things and is a part-time ethnomusicologist (applying these skills to puppetry by specializing in the intersection of music, culture and puppetry traditions). Amongst other responsibilities, Damon creates the learning activities for instructor-led Create-A-Puppet Workshops, curates the Discovery Days programming and collaborates on international puppetry workshops. He is on The Georgia Council for the Arts teaching artist registry, and the founder of his own shadow puppet performance company, Mr. Damon’s Shadow Puppet Theater. As an ardent creator and teacher, he empowers students in design and performance of puppet theatre by mentoring them to access their natural state of creativity, kindness, self-actualization and cooperation.
