Alexandra Montagnese is a Dora award winning director, performer, puppeteer, and arts educator. She is co-curator of Toronto’s experimental puppetry cabaret: Concrete Cabaret and has taught puppets with many groups including Toronto School of Puppetry, Tarragon, Wee Festival, TMU, Glendon College, Shaw Festival Ensemble members, and various private high schools.

This class will explore the basics of performing object puppetry. Through various movement and narrative exercises, we will transform everyday objects into live performing puppets. We will look at the ways the object selection and all of its qualities inform imagination and storytelling to help build a unique style and expression in performance.
