Here is how to receive the audience’s “wow!” and “bravo!” with props, puppets, cat’s cradle, musical instruments, and more. Kuniko will show and tell what has worked for her in school with origami, masks, and magic, and how she has come to love doing video during COVID. Newsflash: props do well in the video world!
