PUPPETRY PERFORMANCE CLASS (ONLINE)

Suitable for newcomers or experienced puppeteers, this class digs into the key principles I use when training puppeteers for work on stage and screen.

We’ll spend 3 sessions discussing and practically exploring a whole range of techniques, working through exercises that you can use to enhance your puppetry performance skills. The online class focuses on practice as a solo puppeteer, whilst also introducing methods that can be applied to working in puppeteer teams. You’ll be set homework tasks to present to the class, and given individual feedback to help you improve and refine your work.

We’ll cover a lot in the 3 sessions, including:

  • Gravity, muscularity, stretch & squash

  • Fixed points of articulation and range in movement qualities

  • Story beats and key frames of action

  • Creating clear visual stories with even the most basic materials

  • Simple tips and tricks to enhance the impact of your puppetry
