PERFORMING PUPPETRY
Our teaching method is to propose dancer/ physical actor/ mime techniques as a way of creating character and story through the shape, dynamics, and spatial movement of puppets. Short courses focus solely on performance. Long courses include building simple puppets.

Courses available include:
  • Basic Puppeteering Skills
  • 3-person Manipulation
  • Full Body Puppets
  • Object Puppets
    • PERFORMING TECHNOLOGY
    We aim to develop in our participants familiarity and engagement with technological devices, while connecting that experience to the deep lessons of performance work: confidence, trust, interpersonal relationships, body-sense, and improvisation. After hardware and software tutorials we move on to integrate technology with live performance through traditional theater exercises where the technology plays another 'character'. Further, we consider form and content in the context of onstage technology.
    DEVISING FROM SCRATCH
    Devising from Scratch proposes a working process that will enable you to fully realize your production ideas. We begin by shaping a comprehensive seed, which inspires design and performative ideas. We consider what style of puppets, props, set, lights, and sound will best serve those ideas and build mock up sets and puppets. After adding collaborators and assessing out 'tests' we can consider a 'script'. And finally, clarify, clarify, discard, and discard.
