Expand your conventional understanding of puppetry, puppet theatre, and performing objects by exploring the function of puppets and POs throughout history. In this workshop we will define the five general classifications of puppets (hand, string, rod, shadow, body), as well as some hybrids and outliers to these types, provide a brief introduction to world puppetry styles and traditions and examine how ancient traditions from around the world influence today’s puppeteers.
