Create & Workshop with Recycled Materials!
Presented by Beau Brown, Director/Puppeteer, Puckin’ Fuppet Show and Dragon Con Puppetry Track
A weekend–long retreat into puppet slam productivity! Learn puppet slam best practices and develop and workshop your own piece. We will focus on keeping things simple by limiting our materials to cardboard and other recyclables, and by focusing on you as the only puppeteer in your piece to maintain an economy of hands. Stories will be encouraged to show rather than tell, using action to tell the story rather than dialogue.
