5 Arts Program Application Narrative
School Profile
McDougle Elementary is one of the largest K-5 schools in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School
District, with 552 students. Its population is ethnically and academically diverse, with students
from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds. The demographic breakdown at the end of
the 2011-2012 school year is as follows for grades Kindergarten through 5t' Grade:
Gender Race/National Origin
Female:266 African-American:79 Hispanic: 113 White:290
Male:286 Asian:44 Multiracial:25 American Indian: 1
Starting in the 2012-2013 school year, McDougle Elementary School will participate in the Title I
Schoolwide program, meaning that the school's poverty level is at least 40 percent. With the
support of Title I funding, the school will implement a comprehensive program to address the
unique needs of this population. In addition, we have approximately 80 students classified as
English Language Learners (ELL); this number fluctuates during the school year, as this is our
most transient population. McDougle Elementary has three self-contained classrooms in its
Exceptional Children program: two for autism and one Life Skills class, which is for students
with severe and profound learning challenges. Although these classrooms are categorized as
self-contained, inclusion opportunities with same-age peers are provided on a regular basis,
especially in MES PTA cultural enrichment programs.
McDougle Elementary also houses a Pre-K/Head Start classroom of 33 students that also
benefits from MES PTA's cultural enrichment programs.
Given the demographic and socio-economic composition of our school, a large percentage of
our students benefits greatly from experiencing a diverse cultural arts program as they may
otherwise have very few opportunities to do so outside the school context. The struggling
economy, declining resources allocated to the arts, and limited fundraising opportunities make it
necessary for the McDougle Elementary PTA to seek outside funding to support our Cultural
Arts Program.
McDougle Elementary has demonstrated its strong commitment to the arts since it opened in
1996. The NC Standard Course of Study determines the school's Arts curriculum. To enhance
and complement the curriculum, the PTA presents at least four different performances each
year, as well as artist residencies. Each performance is carefully selected to respond to the
needs of our students. The criteria for selection include strong multidisciplinary linkages to the
school's curriculum, particularly in arts education, language arts, science, math, social studies,
and positive behavior; and being representative of a variety of cultures and art forms, such as
dance, music, drama, storytelling and poetry, among others. Our goal is to expose students to
a wide range of artistic expression throughout their elementary school years.
The two performances for which we are seeking funding present a unique learning opportunity
for our students during the 2012-2013 school year.
School's Arts Programs
In 2012-2013, the PTA Cultural Arts Program includes the following shows:
• Flamenco Carolina (October 2012; supported by the Spring 2012 OCAC grant)
• Hobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets (November 2012; supported by the Spring 2012 OCAC
grant)
• Tired Souls, presented by Mike Wiley (January 2013; provisional support by the Fall 2012
OCAC grant)
• Ballet Folklorico Mexico (April 2013; provisional support by the Fall 2012 OCAC grant)
Page 4 of 22
Afts in Education Grant-Spring 2012 McDougle Elementary School PTA
The PTA will also fund a poetry residency (5th grade) and a pottery residency (4th grade). The
PTA will continue building partnerships with the community at large by inviting local
organizations to showcase students' work at the end of these residencies.
Proposed Uses of Grant Funds.

Migration presented by Hobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets
Audience: K, 1, 2 (- 275 children representing MES diversity)
Show length: 50 minutes
Show date: November 15, 2012
Study Area: Theatre Arts, English Language Arts
Migration tells the story of a young Mexican girl, Beatriz, whose name means "traveler,"and her
own family's migration to the US. Her journey is juxtaposed with the stories of wild animals that
migrate--monarch butterflies, polar bears, birds, and the giant sperm whale--all brought vividly to
life through Hobey Ford's beautiful handmade puppets. Ford masterfully combines storytelling,
puppetry, and animation to present an original, engaging tale of hope and change. This
performance is an excellent companion to the study of animals, migration, the metamorphosis of
the monarch butterfly, Mexico, immigration, environmental awareness, and geography.
The performance and its study guide also support the English Language Arts and Theatre Arts
objectives from the North Carolina (NC) Standard Course of Study, as presented in the table
below. A study guide will be available to teachers prior to the performance.

Integrating Cultural Arts into the Curriculum
The PTA Cultural Arts program works in concert with the school's art education curriculum, as
well as with the teachers who incorporate the performances into the grade-level curriculum
specified in the NC Standard Course of Study Arts Education component. Hobey Ford provides
instructional materials to correspond with his performances. Similarly, teaching guides are
available to crosswalk the rich cultural experience provided by Flamenco Carolina with grade-
appropriate educational goals and standards. Each teacher is responsible for integrating these
materials and the performances with the curriculum in each classroom. These linkages would
most often take place on a grade-wide scale, with teachers of the same grade using the same
lesson, which would be reinforced during relevant 'specials' classes (e.g., art, music, library).

Golden Kod ruppet5
The Ant and the Grasshopper
and more...
Study Guide for K-8th students
The Ant and the Grasshopper and More... is a concert variety show featuring sto-
ries and puppets from many cultures and many styles of puppetry. These pieces
are some of the"greatest hits" of the Golden Rod Puppets. Hobey has also selected
and adapted pieces that break out of the traditional box puppet stage and move
across the stage and even into the audience.
This production is specially designed to be presented in outdoor and larger ven--
ues. The performance also includes two special types of puppets created by Hobey.
The "Foamier" are large animal puppets that Hobey brings into the audience at
times. These puppet-, are manipulated by a variety of mechanisms designed by
Hobey and performed in Bunraku style. The "Peeper" puppet is a set of eyes that
turns the bare hand into a puppet! Hobey -will show you how.
We hope you enjoy the many characters in this performance. The "Ant and the
Grasshopper" and "Little Grandmother Spider Woman" are two stones from dif-
ferent sides of the world that both include many rod puppets. McKoodoo the Sto-
ryteller is both a hand and rod puppet. He will share a story from a favorite con-
temporary American storyteller about dealing with a "bully". The roving elf pup-
pet is a classic marionette. And every audience favorite,Chester the Dog,performs
his tricks and antics with the help of rods.
Page 18 of 22
Arts in Education Grant—Spring 2012 McDougle Elementary School PTA
Bunraku Pupped
Many pieces in the production are performed in Bunraku-style puppetry. Bunraku is
a traditional Japanese form of puppetry where the puppeteers are in full view It is a
unique and stylized form of puppetry. Bunraku-style means simply borrowing the con-
vention of working in the open,in full view. Working litre this allows the audience to see
what the puppeteer is doing to manipulate or move the puppet. The puppeteer uses
voice, hands,and body to "bring the puppet to life."
The puppeteer usually dresses in black against a black background. This allows the
puppeteer to blend into the background and lets the audience focus on the puppet. After
a few minutes, the audience gets used to seeing the puppeteer,and focuses on the pup-
pets. The technique allows the puppeteer to move the puppets in imaginary settings
around the stage and audience. It is fun for the audience because the puppets come close
at times.
The Foamies
These puppets are my own original creations. They are carved with scissors out of
large blocks of foam rubber. T11ey are carefully painted with acrylic paints making them
realistic. Each animal's characteristic movement is studied then. performed in Bunraku
style. They are controlled with various control mechanisms,which I design.
Marionettes
Marionettes were first made in India over 3,000 years ago. Way back when, they
only had one string to operate the whole puppet. Today's marionettes have as many as
forty strings. Marionettes made their way to the U.S.by way of Europe. The famous
explorer Marco Polo, who found a route to the Orient in which to bring back spices,
also brought marionettes back from his travels.
Rod Puppetry
Rod puppetry is an ancient form of puppetry originating in Indonesia. It was called
"Wayang Golek". The figures or dolls were moved by the use of rods which were ma-
nipulated from below. This technique traveled into the west through Europe and even-
tually to the Americas where it can be seen in modern form in Jim Henson's Muppets on
Sesame Street.The Golden Rod Puppets use a form of rod puppetry similar to the Euro-
pean techniques used in Austria at the turn of the century by puppeteer, Richard'I'eschner.
The full bodied figures are controlled below by rods, strings and .mechanisms. They are
brought up-to-date with many innovations by puppeteer,Hobey Ford. Ford is Rod Pup-
pet Consultant to Puppeteers of America and a recognized expert in this field. Some of
the figures are carved from holly, a hard wood resembling ivory. Others are fashioned
from doll maker's clay. Each puppet is individually designed, tailored and fitted ",with
crepe hair.

The 1'upueeteer
Puppeteer Hobey Ford was born in coastal Connecticut and studied music and art through-
out his youth. In 1976, Hobey became a puppeteer deciding that puppetry was a unique
way of combining his many interests and talents. In 1979,he moved to the mountains of
North Carolina to be close to his mentor, puppeteer Clyde Hollifield of The Appalachian
Puppet Theater. In 1981, he formed I Iobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets and has toured
the US and Canada with his solo performances. Ile has appeared at the Smithsonian
Museum's Discovery Theatre,The Kennedy Center, Jim Henson's International Festival
of Puppetry as well as International festivals across the US and Canada. He has been
awarded three Henson Foundation grants for as many productions. His production of
Turtle Island Tales won puppetry's highest honor, a Citation of Excellence from Union
International De La.Marionette. He currently lives in Weavery.1le., North Carolina with
his wife and three daughters.
The Audience
A live performance is not complete unless there is an audience, and the better the audi-
ence, the better the performance. Audience skills are very important. As you enter a
theatre, even if that theatre is a gym, it is usually acceptable to talk in a low volume.
When it is time for the performance to begin,it is time to become quiet.Speaking during
a performance is considered rude and can.distract the performer. Sometimes a response
is called for,and then,a reply is encouraged. It is okay to laugh,of course,when the show
is funny,or to applaud.at the end of a piece.The best advise is to sit quietly and enjoy the
show. The performer will then put on the best performance he or she is able to achieve.

What Educators say about
Hobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets
You're certainly made quite an impression on a school that has been really struggling to
find f maintain its identity —I think your visit has reinvigorated the teachers and shown them
that the arts can deliver joy and pride, as well as curriculum content, to their students. It was
such a pleasure working with you and getting to know you this week, I look forward to
having you hack in the future!
Courtney Reilly,Assistant Director of Cultural Arts, Uni.versitil of North Carolina
WT llnington
We LOVED this performance! The student's and staff are still talking about it! Many teachers
took this opportunity to involve students in an engaging writing activity following the
performance. Students were so excited to go rack and write about the performance! Again, we
thoroughly enjoyed the show and will request it again next year! Thank you so much for this
wonderful opportunity!
Sloan E. Browning,Principal,Aberdeen Primary School
Hobey's show was exceptional.The kids LOVED it. Probably the hest received performance in
the seven years I've been here.Excellent!Informational, dazzling visuals,humor.This had it
all. I wmild highly recommend this to any elementary program, and I'm sure he could tailor it
to older groups, too.GREAT!
Jay St.John,Headmaster,Episcopal Day School
Thank you for sending Mr Ford to spend time at our school. The staff and students were
impressed with his presentation. It was creative,engaging and informative. We all learned
something from those puppets! I hope he can visit again next year. Maybe we can coordinate
it a science unit being taught.We appreciate the investment in our school. I'm still playing
with my "eves"{Peepers Puppets)!
Dante Poole,Principal Intern,Robbins Elementary
The students really enjoyed Hobey Ford's show last week. It was the first time that I had seen
this performance and I thought it was great...definitely not your ordinai�ty puppet show.
Seth Powers,Principal, West Pine Elementaryj School
Wow! Hobey Ford was awesome and his show just knocked everyone off their feet.
