Puppetry as Theatre Art
Celebrate the magical intersection of puppetry and theatre! Puppets have been used to tell stories since theatre began and can be found in performance from stage to screen and everywhere in between. Puppetry celebrates all aspects of the theatre arts and is a “must-have” skill on every theatrical resume. Learn about puppets from all over the world, dive into fun actor-to-puppeteer exercises that celebrate the power of teamwork and ensemble, and have a blast in a puppet skills boot camp!
