Puppeteering

Puppeteering is a craft that requires a lot of practice. Puppeteers must be good performers, storytellers, technicians and artists that can create reality on a stage and involve their audience in the stories they tell. This workshop will teach you how to animate shadow puppets, glove puppets, stick puppets and/or marionettes and will open your mind to the wonders of puppetry, teaching you to appreciate the art, history and possibility of the puppets you handle and the shows you perform.

Project suitable for:
ks1 (5 - 8), ks2 (8 - 11), ks3 (11 - 14), ks4 (14 - 16), teenage, young adult
