About the Workshop

Immerse yourself in the world of object puppetry! Professional puppeteers Pavla Mano and Csaba Raduly will share their expertise in theater performance and their unique style of object puppetry. They’ll cover some basic and more advanced techniques of manipulation, and introduce fun exercises for creating characters from different materials. Discover what you can create with whatever you happen to have on hand! Participants will be invited to bring found objects from home to work with, and will leave with new approaches and inspiration to tell their own stories.

This workshop is great for puppeteers, movement artists, drama teachers, and anyone excited about puppet animation or creativity in general!

Adults & teens 16+

About the Instructors

Founded in 1996 in Bulgaria and established in Montreal since 2004, Puzzle Théâtre has a unique style by combining various types in the traditional and the contemporary: drama theatre, object and puppet theatre. The company distinguishes itself by the coloured amalgam of styles and the great diversity of means of expression that it proposes. Leave the audience the freedom to interpret the unmentioned, to freely associate ideas and allow it to feel what is not explicitly told. This is what became the artistic characteristic of the company.
