Improvised Puppetry

A fun, informal, one-day practical workshop with professional puppeteer Kim Scopes. This course is suitable for anyone from professional performers to the simply curious looking for a fun way to learn a new skill. We'll look at the principles of puppetry, object manipulation, multi person puppetry and improvisation in puppetry. Ideal for complete beginners, its also a fantastic opportunity for those with some puppeteering skills to refresh themselves on the basics.
