Puppetry Workshop: Introduction to Puppetry

One Hour Introduction to Puppetry Workshop

Our facilitators are experienced in working with all ages and able to tailor workshops to suit your needs.

Workshop Structure

Students will participate in a group warm up and then begin to explore and combine Storytelling, Puppetry and Vocal techniques. Students will be guided through improvisation and devising exercises and then use their new repertoire of skills to create and rehearsing material in collaboration with others. There will be the opportunity for students to present their Puppetry Performances to the group and discuss/ review their own development and application of performance skills.
