Puppetry Workshops & Masterclasses


Workshops introduce participants to the magic of puppetry. After a brief demonstration of how a simple puppet works, the participants are encouraged to use different materials with their imagination to create small, medium or life sized puppets of characters that are either human or non human. They are taught to move it, discover how it communicates and then take it out into the world to spread peace and tolerance with their creation.

A Masterclass is specifically for professionals and senior students from any field of The Performing Arts or Developmental Communication and other related fields. A Master class has three levels - The first introduces the participants to the skills of manipulation with a simple puppet they are taught to make. The second level is to incoorporate this puppet into their discipline and the third level is to create a more permanent puppet that they can keep and use for specific projects or performances. 

Each workshop and master class is differently designed and requires planning and preparation so please contact me for details if you have a workshop in mind for a specific group or an event or celebration or require a Master class.


For a specialized puppetry / mask workshop please email me the exact requirements and the level of the participants and the goal.
