Introduction / synopsis
Mateo and his father carve juguetes, or small
traditional wooden animals, which his family sells
at the fiestas in Oaxaca, Mexico. But Mateo wants
to carve much larger and brightly painted animals
– goats as pink as bougainvillea with cactus-green
speckles, and purple cats with corn-yellow spots.
When Mateo tells his father how he longs to bring
these large, colorful animals to life, his father only
scowls, but the young boy perseveres. Dream Carver
features a variety of vibrant handcrafted puppets,
including large-scale, full-body hand puppets,
rod puppets, and black-light puppets. The set is
a multilevel environment that evokes a pastoral
Mexican landscape and captures the essence of
the book’s illustrations. Inspired by the true story
of Oaxacan wood carver, Manuel Jimenez,
Dream Carver offers a simple, but powerful, message:
Follow Your Dreams.

Ë Woodcarving has been an art form and tradition in cultures
around the world dating back to ancient and primitive times.
Ë Woodcarving has been used to make many objects,
including weapons, bowls and utensils, musical instruments,
puppets, works of art, and even false teeth!
ËOaxacan wood carvings have two main styles. While some carvers express themselves making fine
and delicately carved pieces, others make rustic pieces that are roughly carved.
Ë The same happens with the painting; some pieces are intricately decorated with Zapotec motifs,
geometric shapes, flowers, or other patterns, although other artists prefer simpler decorations.
ËMotifs are dictated based on popularity and also by their competition,
which forces carvers to look for different subjects in order to stand out
from other carvers. This explains how the alebrijes became even more
famous when wood carvers from Oaxaca adopted mythical creatures
and adapted them to their art.
Ë The most popular figures are various animals. Among them the cat is
the animal motif most preferred by customers. Other subjects include
angels, devils, skeletons, mermaids, saints, and nativity scenes.
Ë The city of Oaxaca, Mexico, was founded in 1486 by the Aztecs and later,
in 1521, was conquered by the Spanish.
Ë
The full name of the capital of Oaxaca is Oaxaca de Juárez.

History of oaxacan wood carving –Alebrijes
(www.mexican-folk-art-guide.com/Oaxacan-wood-carvings.html)
• Oaxaca has a wood carving tradition dating from pre-Hispanic times
when Zapotecs used to carve religious totems and ceremonial masks.
Following the Spanish conquest, carvers made wooden saints, angels,
crosses, altars, and masks. The masks were used in dances and representations
about biblical passages and Christian stories that helped friars catechize
the native people.
• After the Independence War, wood carving dwindled. As a side job, a few artisans
carved masks used in traditional dances, and animal and human miniature figurines.
• In the 1940’s, with the construction of the Pan-American Highway, Oaxaca was
opened up to tourism. Folk art stores opened in Oaxaca City, and the tourists visiting
the Monte Alban archaeological site created an outlet for their crafts.
• The style of wood carving depicted in our show, the monos de madera or alebrijes as
they are called in Spanish, were originally created by carver Manuel Jimenez, but
soon became so popular that other people from his town and a few other communities
in Oaxaca began carving to have an extra income. The economic boom created by the
popularity of these colorful creatures has given many families the chance to have a
better life in one of the poorest areas of the country.
Oaxacan Wood Carving Process
(adapted from www.mexican-folk-art-guide.com/Oaxacan-wood-carvings.html)
The wood comes from the copal tree. Fresh-cut copal wood is soft, easily workable,
and has a small heart so it does not split. It sands down to a smooth porcelain-like
finish and it doesn’t absorb much paint.
Because copal wood is very susceptible to bugs, it is a good practice after acquiring an Oaxacan carving to wrap it in a plastic bag and freeze it for a week. That will eliminate
all the bug eggs the piece might have.
The carving is done with machetes, kitchen, and pocket knives. The shape of the branch
dictates what can be made. Most figures are carved within a day or two.
Once carved and sanded, the piece is painted with acrylic paints. Aniline paints were
originally used to paint the carvings but most artists stopped using them because they fade.
At the beginning the whole process was done by the men, who also signed the piece, but
with the increasing demand the whole family became involved in the creation process.
Often, men carve, children and the elderly sand, and the women paint.
This is especially true in San Martin Tilcajete where women had an embroidery tradition
of centuries. Workers out of the family are rarely hired to avoid giving out the trade secrets.
Not all the Oaxacan woodcarvings are of the same quality or price. Most of the figurines
are mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply. Carvings that are well done and carefully
painted are usually made by well-known artists and are considered collectible items,
and so their price is higher.

(Note: This lesson will need at least 2 class periods to complete)
Show students images of Oaxaca animal carvings. Tell them that in Oaxaca these carvings are called alebrijes. Discuss the features of the alebrijes,
noting that they are usually a type of animal, hand carved and painted in bright colors. If age appropriate, provide information and history about Oaxaca.
Tell students that they will be making their own unique alebrijes out of clay. Allow them to look through the images and decide what type of animal they
would like to make. Are they combining parts from different animals? Are they creating a traditional animal they will paint non-traditionally?
Make Baker’s clay. If appropriate, have students help measure, mix, and knead the clay.
Distribute a portion of clay to each student.
Have students construct their animals. Remind students to use a little water to attach pieces of clay together.
When sculptures are complete, place on a cookie sheet.
Bake sculptures in an oven. They may plump just a bit as they are cooked.
Paint a base coat of paint and let dry.
When they are dry, paint designs on animal sculptures. Students should use at least three different colors. It will help to allow one color to dry before
applying the next. Oaxacan artists often use dots and repeating lines to adorn their carvings. Encourage students to experiment and express themselves
by painting a variety of patterns or designs on their animal.
Extensions/Modifications:
ÈHave students create stories about the animals they have created.
ÈFor younger students, the baker’s clay can be rolled out and animal forms cut with cookie cutters. These can then be baked
and painted by the students.
ÈFor younger students or an activity that can be confined to one class period, have students color Oaxacan-inspired patterns
on a plain animal coloring page.
ÈFor older students, do a class research project on Oaxaca and the Zapotec people. Discuss how woodcarvings have affected
the lives, culture, and economic prosperity of the Zapotec people.

Talavera Tiles
Discuss the origins of talavera tile. Share images of talavera tiles with students. Students will create a sample tile. They can
choose to create a tile that has a symmetrical design or an image they might find in nature — birds and flowers are popular.
Students plan their tile on the drawing paper. If the design is symmetrical, one hint is for them to design one half of
the tile — or even one quarter — and transfer or copy it to the other side of the paper. Once the designs are drawn,
transfer them to the poster board. Tear the brightly colored construction paper into tiny pieces and begin to fill
in the design in order to “color” it.

Where I’m From

I am from clothespins,
from Clorox and carbon-tetrachloride.
I am from the dirt under the back porch.
(Black, glistening,
it tasted like beets.)
I am from the forsythia bush
the Dutch elm
whose long-gone limbs I remember
as if they were my own.
I’m from fudge and eyeglasses,
from Imogene and Alafair.
I’m from the know-it-alls
and the pass-it-ons,
from Perk up! and Pipe down!
I’m from He restoreth my soul
with a cottonball lamb
and ten verses I can say myself.
I’m from Artemus and Billie’s Branch,
fried corn and strong coffee.
From the finger my grandfather lost
to the auger,
the eye my father shut to keep his sight.
Under my bed was a dress box
spilling old pictures,
a sift of lost faces
to drift beneath my dreams.
I am from those moments-snapped before I budded -leaf-fall from the family tree.

theatre etiquette
Music, theater, dance, and opera are collaborative arts. This means they require the cooperation of many people:
the directors, the performers, and the audience. Live performances can transport you to other times and places,
but to do so, they require you, the audience to listen, observe, discover, and imagine.
of Theater Etiquette is included on the website. Please post it and discuss it

your students before coming to the performance.
Adult
Supervision
Required
• Seeing a live performance is a special experience. Although it is not required, many people enjoy dressing
up when they attend the theater.
• Gentlemen should remove hats or caps when inside the building.
• Please enjoy your food, drink, and gum in the lobby.
• Please allow ushers to seat your entire group before rearranging students and/or taking groups to the restroom.
• Photography and recordings of the shows, as well as cell phones, texting, or gaming are all strictly prohibited
during the performances.
• Crying babies, unhappy siblings, and other loud noises disturb the actors and the other patrons. Please be
considerate and leave the hall during these periods. You may still enjoy the show in the lobby via our large
screen monitors.
• Some shows are interactive, and involve audience participation; some are not. Discuss with your class how
to know the difference, as well as what is appropriate conduct in a theater, versus at a sports arena or
outdoor concert.
• During a musical, it is appropriate to clap at the end of a song. During a ballet or dance performance, it is
appropriate to clap at the end of the number.
• Curtain calls occur when the show has ended and the cast comes forward to take their bows. The best way
to show the performers how much you appreciate their hard work is to stay at your seats and clap until
the actors leave the stage, or until the curtain comes down and the house lights come on.
• At the end of the show, after the applause, remain in your seats until you are dismissed from the theater.
• If you are staying for the Question & Answer session, remain in your seats until the house clears and then move
down front toward the stage.
Wandering Children
For the safety of our precious little ones, UNM requests school identifiers. When students are too
scared to tell us their school name or teacher, school identifiers give us a quick and easy way to
reunite them with their class groups. Examples of suitable identifiers include matching T-shirts,
homemade headbands, hats, scarves, lanyards, and school badges. Be creative!
The kiosk in the lobby is our rendezvous point. Please immediately report a separated child to
the usher at the kiosk. Staff will search for and bring lost children there first.
