With Zach Fraser, Saturdays, May 14 & 21, from 1:00 to 2.30 pm EST
Description: “Puppets are our master-teachers.” – Ariane Mnouchkine There is a symbiotic relationship between actors and puppets. Each has their strengths and their challenges. As actors, there is much to learn from our puppet counter-parts. They teach us the power of distilled actions and poetic imagery. The workshop examines the strengths actors can bring to puppetry, and the craft and nuance puppets can bestow upon us. Materials – please contact ann@puppetmongers.com for details
