Puppeteering course

A three-day course on the art of bringing a puppet to life

How do you turn a puppet of wood/paper/foam rubber into something credible and living with the ability to express essential human emotions?

”The biggest praise you can get as a puppeteer are comments like ’I could see the puppet think’, ’I could see the puppet smile’, ’’I could see the puppet weep’. That’s the illusion you always strive to reach as a puppeteer.”
– Bjarne Sandborg

In the course you’re introduced to the methods and tools that are necessary to create this illusion.

No specific qualifications are required to join – everybody can take part!
