The Puppeteer’s Process

Welcome to The Puppeteer’s Process!
All levels of experience are welcome! Teachers in this class will work with youth at all levels of experience to help them reach their goals.

Registration for this class will re-open for the fall in June 2025.

Class Description:

In this brand new technical theatre class, students will gain hands-on skills in both the construction of puppets and their implementation on the stage.

Did you know almost anything can be a puppet? The Puppeteer’s Process will dive into how to create characters from shapes, buzz words, and texture, while working as a group to literally bring a story to life. Topics of instruction include but are not limited to: marionettes, hand and rod puppets, shadow puppets, and bunraku.

Students who show extra interest in building puppets may be invited to lend their skills to construction for our spring play, She Kills Monsters.
