Furry Monsters 101 at Puppet Showplace

This class will focus on the proper manipulation of mouth and rod puppets, inspired by the “furry monster” characters featured on Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Avenue Q. After learning the basics of puppet animation (breathing, lip-synch, focus, and body position), participants will cover character interpretation, rhythm and timing, storytelling, puppet-assisting, prop handling, comedy improv, television monitor technique, and puppet/actor interactions. This is an ideal class for actors, comedians, die-hard Muppet fans, or anyone interested in learning puppetry performance skills.

Mon-Fri August 17th-21st, 6:30-8:30 pm.

Class Capacity: 12. Recommended for Ages 16 and up.
