[Austin, TX]-- Trouble Puppet Theater Company presents an exciting new workshop exploring the art of puppetry through building puppets and performance. Participants in this workshop intensive will learn construction of tabletop puppets, covering materials, tools, engineering, and design. Learn it by doing it! Participants may come to some or all the building days, the more you’re there, the more you’ll learn. Using our newly made puppets we will explore storytelling and performance techniques on the Eloise Stage at The VORTEX, culminating with a public performance of scenes from an original Trouble Puppet show-in-progress. Attendance is required for all 5 rehearsals and the public performance. Spots are limited, reserve yours today!
