Puppeting Towards Preservation

This workshop will explore how to use large-scale puppetry and storytelling as a mode of creative problem-solving. Drawing on techniques from political puppetry lineages, the workshop will be divided into three parts: story creation, sound and puppet building, and performance. The spirit of this workshop is intended to be playful, horizontal, and temporary. The hope is that participants leave feeling more comfortable with artistic collaboration and emboldened to use play as a political tool.
