Hands On Puppetry! – TABLETOP (DIRECT MANIPULATION) PUPPETRY

Learn the magic of bringing a complex puppet to life with other performers! Participants apply the basic tenets of puppetry performance (rhythm, focus, breath, and tension) to direct manipulation puppets operated by three puppeteers sharing one puppet. This puppetry style requires working in close quarters with two other people, and an ability to stand, bend, and squat.
