From story idea to show time – workshop participants will transform ordinary cardboard boxes into magnificent miniature theatres, complete with little puppet actors and splendid scenic effects.
Before the advent of TV, computers and “I-Things”, Toy Theatre was a popular household form of puppet theatre, with families creating their own home entertainment by reproducing miniature versions of the theatre shows of the day. These dramas-in-miniature employed all kinds of spectacular effects: indeed, some mechanical contrivances and contraptions first invented for toy theatres were later adopted by “real” theatres. In recent years this all but forgotten theatrical form is enjoying a resurgence in popularity amongst puppeteers and visual and theatre artists, who are exploring the unlimited potential of Toy Theatre in the context of contemporary theatre.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5386″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][mk_button corner_style=”rounded” size=”medium” url=”http://www.torontoschoolofpuppetry.com/classes-spring-2019/” target=”_blank”]Register for workshop [/mk_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]
