NEW!! The Art of Silk Marionette Theater - Begins July 7, 2024 Summer Professional Development Program

Every summer we offer unique, practical, artistic and in-depth online trainings in the puppetry arts
This summer we are highlighting a NEW Puppet Boot Camp program beginning July 7 2024

NEW!!!!!  The Art of Silk Marionette Theater -  will include the art of making a marionette that will be graceful and capable of beautiful and meaningful movement and gesture.  We will then spend time on how to bring our marionettes to life through guided practice in whole body basic movements, such as standing , sitting, lying down, walking, running, skipping , dancing, etc.  We will also explore the finer movements of hands and arms doing all kinds of practical actions and activities. One key to ensouling these ethereal puppets is to discover the Soul gestures which will add depth of inner life to the marionette's enlivening.
We finish with everyone presenting a simple scene story with their marionette via video on our easy to use Online Course Platform
I guide you through each step and support you in 'next steps' all the way!!!!

This is the first online silk marionette course I have offered ( aside from within my Year long Training) after 40 years of training people in this beautiful puppetry art!  I am excited to share my love of this special Uplifted Puppet.  One of my early mentors told me that Silk is Woven Sunlight!

Payment Plans available. Contact me via email below.

You may work on this program at your best times, you keep the course too for later referral.  You will also get the most out of it if you participate with the community of like minded story and puppet enthusiasts, posting action steps through discussion, photos, videos.  Our online host, Ruzuku, is easy to use!  I guide and cheerlead, mentor, support, and give next steps all the way!!!  See you there dear friends!
