Introduction to Marionettes

Rescheduled to March 29th   10 a.m. to 5 pm.

In this class the participants will gain a sense of how critically important gravity, leverage and fulcrums are to marionettes.   Everyone will make their own simple yet effective cloth marionette and learn how to string their puppet. Everyone will then learn to manipulate their puppet through a series of exploration and movement exercises. 

Instructor:  David Powell

David and his sister Ann started their puppetry journey with marionettes at the ages of 7 and 8.  He has been a co-artistic director of Puppetmongers Theatre since establishing it with Ann in 1974.  With the company he has invented new ideas in puppet theatre, created many award winning puppet productions and toured extensively.
