MORE INFORMATION >

This 2-day Puppetry intensive will explore the relationship between the visible performer and the puppet/object on stage. It will consider what an actor or dancer or puppeteer needs to focus on when sharing the stage with an animated object, including presence, focus, manipulation techniques and poetic metaphor. It will introduce the participants to a wide range of styles of puppetry including 3 person operated figures.

For participants aged 18+ with experience of performing, and some experience or a very strong interest in including objects/puppets in their work.  The workshop involves physical participation.

 

 

two people with backs to camera watch as a woman in a green cardigan and jeans with white hair tied up in a bun points towards two puppetry students animating a puppet. The puppet wears a shirt with no body but the puppeteers arms inside the sleeves. The puppets head is of an old man with glasses and feathery hair on the side of his head.
"Really inspiring, challenging, fast-paced and a great insight into the various different ways of working within puppetry and object led work."
