About the Workshop
Interested in what brings a puppet to life? This workshop will cover the basic mechanics of operating one-person and three-person-style puppets, and will provide insights into the art form and its application in making theatrical choices. Participants will receive an introduction to Sandglass Theater’s approach to puppetry training and will engage in a fun, hands-on exploration with exercise puppets designed for training puppeteers.
This workshop is appropriate for all levels and does not require any previous experience in puppetry or performance. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes that are easy to move in.
Recommended for adults 18+
