May 2 & 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In this two day workshop the participants will explore and build more complex marionettes, made of wood, with simple working joints. We will explore character development and design, the basic do’s and don’ts of costuming marionettes, as well as different types of marionette control bars and stringing methods. Through a series of movement exercises everyone will begin to learn how to bring their puppet character to life.

Instructors:  Ann Powell & David Powell

Ann and David started their puppetry careers with marionettes, and have developed a very good understanding of their construction and theatrical potential.  David will focus mainly on the construction and mechanics, while Ann will bring her character development and costuming skills.  Though in their work with Puppetmongers they have developed their art to include many other types of puppetry, marionettes hold a special place in their history.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5623″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
