Advanced manipulation techniques focusing on micro-movements, establishing eye contact with the audience, and simulating genuine breath to bring profound emotional weight to your character.
Combine physical manipulation with vocal performance. Work on stage projection, distinctive character voices, and interacting dynamically with other puppets in a miniature theatrical setting.
Puppetry is an art passed down through hands-on experience and shared stories. Our instructors are working performers who spend their days building elaborate figures and their nights entertaining audiences under the spotlight.
When you train with us, you are not just learning steps—you are inheriting a tradition of storytelling. We will teach you how to feel the tension in the string before a movement even begins, ensuring your performance is as natural as your own breath.
Our workshops are tailored to suit different age groups and skill levels. Whether it is a playful introduction for children or a deep dive into character mechanics for adults, we have a class for everyone.
