Event Description
Want to learn how to make a puppet sing, cry, and steal the show?
Join us for Puppetry 101, a joyful, one-afternoon-only workshop with Joshua Holden, who’s in Almonte to perform in Noreen’s Night of Nonsense Cabaret!
This is your backstage pass to puppet performance: learn all about hand and rod (Muppet-style) puppetry, including technical skills, such as lip synch, focus, and emotional truth. Through group exercises and solo presentations, this workshop will give participants the confidence they need to fully express themselves through a puppet and authentically connect to an audience. Participants are encouraged to bring their own puppets.
This workshop is open to all levels and guaranteed to spark joy. Spots are limited, so don’t wait! Tickets $75 ($50 if you’re attending the Cabaret)! All ticket sales go directly to supporting the Puppets Up! Festival.
