Training
Puppets stimulate students of all ages into spontaneous play, devising dialogues and creating characters as they respond to what is on their hand -
and their partner’s!

Once the trainer provides a framework (eg Puppet A is
trying to teach Puppet B the basic rules of courtesy)
you’ll be amazed at how quickly the class responds.  
No one minds listening to a puppet-teacher!

The course teaches the  fundamentals about

Eye-contact with the audience (the puppet, not you!)

Creating focus (as in the video)

Handling your puppet respectfully

Animating your puppet (especially when it’s not speaking!)

Giving your puppet a voice.
