With Mike Petersen. November 29th, half-day, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fee $100
N.B. This Table-Top 101 workshop and Table-Top Construction are a full program. The discounted fee for both workshops is $275.
This workshop introduces the basics. We’ll put your acting into your hands so your puppets can look, listen, seek, find, eat, drink, feel, give, share, and play. Learn the visual cues that make audiences really believe. With a few simple tricks, your puppets will spring to life!
As for what people should bring, if they’ve already made your own tabletop puppets then bring those. If you don’t have a puppet, that’s okay, Mike has an entire fleet of “cloth neutrals” that people can use.
