Grumbling Gryphons Traveling Children’s Theater, an award-winning educational theater, now celebrating 45 years, will engage children in a weeklong theater arts camp -August 4-8th for children ages 6 and older at Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury. Campers will work with Grumbling Gryphons actors, musicians and artists in a fun week-long exciting theater camp centered around the story of Anansi, the Trickster Spider from the Ashanti people of Ghana in West Africa. Children will engage in acting, singing, dancing, and arts and crafts activities including mask making.
The camp will give children the opportunity to become part of a professional children’s theater, make new friends and learn more about Anansi and his adventures as they take on the roles of the animals in the jungle including bees, lions, monkeys, crocodiles and more!
In this infamous tale, Anansi manages to trick the various animals of the jungle and retrieve the stolen stories from Nyame- the greedy sky god of the Ashanti people.
At the culmination of a week of arts and drama, children will perform
Anansi- the Trickster Spider: A West African Folktale on Friday, August 8th at 2 pm for parents and the general public. Live music will be provided by award winning keyboardist Brian Bender from Shutesbury, MA
Grumbling Gryphons will make masks with artist and actress Natalie Resto of Apples N’ Oranges Studio to wear and enhance their participation in the performance. This play is participatory and engages the general public in a lively, interactive performance where the audience will become part of the production!
Grumbling Gryphons is renowned for its fantastic masks and captivating costumes, made by Ellen Moon of Cornwall, CT., and for its innovative interaction with children. Grumbling Gryphons has been performing in schools, museums, libraries and festivals throughout the United States since 1980. In 2003 they won the Connecticut Governor’s Arts Award. They are now celebrating their 45th year of providing educational and participatory theater throughout New England and beyond!

Artist Statement
My woven pieces from baskets to wall sculptures, ceiling hangers, to furniture has evolved and is the way I define myself as an artist, and as a woman. I am fulfilling my dreams that started out with my imagination as a set designer. My creative path took a turn. It was not set design—but the woven arts with its many forms and functions where I found the passion for my life’s work.
The natural beauty of Bittersweet always sparks my imagination and is at the heart of the many pieces I weave. My imagination guides all that I do and it has become very attuned to the harmony of shapes, forms, and colors of the vines and reeds. I am also influenced by the beauty of our natural world and wonder how to weave it.
My palette for color is very much influenced by this experience of growing up in South America. I mix my own dyes and enjoy building a palette for the reeds that will shape textures and forms with color into a
one of a kind woven art!

My imagination guides all that I do and it has become very attuned to the harmony of shapes, forms, and colors of the vines and reeds. I am also influenced by the beauty of our natural world and wonder how to weave it.
My palette for color is very much influenced by this experience of growing up in South America. I mix my own dyes and enjoy building a palette for the reeds that will shape textures and forms with color into a
one of a kind woven art!

Artist Statement
My woven pieces from baskets to wall sculptures, ceiling hangers, to furniture has evolved and is the way I define myself as an artist, and as a woman. I am fulfilling my dreams that started out with my imagination as a set designer. My creative path took a turn. It was not set design—but the woven arts with its many forms and functions where I found the passion for my life’s work.
The natural beauty of Bittersweet always sparks my imagination and is at the heart of the many pieces I weave. My imagination guides all that I do and it has become very attuned to the harmony of shapes, forms, and colors of the vines and reeds. I am also influenced by the beauty of our natural world and wonder how to weave it.
