Presented by Raymond Carr and Chris Hayes
Presented by Raymond Carr from Ninja Puppet Productions and Sesame Street puppeteer Chris Hayes
This workshop is designed to go beyond puppetry monitor workshops. We will teach the best practices I’ve learned and prefer to see in puppeteers I cast. We will teach and recreate scenes and sequences I’ve performed in film and television projects. Some monitor puppetry experience is encouraged, though you do not have to be an expert to participate. Dress comfortably and be prepared to be very close to your classmates as we will be putting our bodies in positions on the ground that can be, at times, awkward and physically demanding. Let us know if you have any physical or learning disabilities so we can make the proper accommodations.
LEVEL: Intermediate to Advance
