Carving Workshop: Puppet Humour and Imaginativeness

puppet making & puppeteering with Michaela Bartoňová from Prague 2012

 

Learn the fundamentals of puppet making and performance and gain some insight into the Czech tradition of puppeteering. Participants will complete their own wooden table puppet, first designing and then carving  and using fabric and leather for costume. There will also be talks about puppets and imagination and art in puppet theatre. No particular expertise is needed however some experience with woodwork or puppets may be helpful.

Michaela Bartoňová from Prague has regularly given puppet workshops in Europe since 1988. Workshops of this kind have been held in the Czech Republic, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, England and even outside Europe – in Taiwan and Australia. Originally working as a journalist and an artist, she founded the Tineola Puppet Theatre in 1998. Michaela will lead the workshop and teach design, painting, costume, manipulation and will help in carving. She will be joined by Maarit Kreuzinger, puppet carver, who will provide technical support.

 

Maarit Kresuzinger is a carver and sculptor from Berlin. Maarit carves puppets for German puppeteers. Maarit and Michaela have worked together on the Noah’s Ark project and The Sleeping Beauty.
