With Puppetmongers / Ann & David
In-person in Toronto – 5 evenings: Monday April 14th through to Friday April 18th, 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Fee: $400 (materials included)
The goal of this workshop is to teach the essentials of marionette making, with 
Ann and David guiding each participant through the building, costuming, stringing and animation of their own marionette. We will explore character development and design, simple woodworking and jointing, the basics of costuming, and bringing your character to life.
Ann and David started their puppetry journey when they were kids, with marionettes from the Pelham Puppet Company, and in their teens started making their own. They founded Puppetmongers Theatre in 1974, and have toured the world and received many awards for their innovative theatrical productions. Nowadays they seldom work with string puppets, but have retained and honed their interest in this classic form.
