Discover what’s magical about marionettes in this demonstration and lecture session. Amy will bring to life some of the Center’s hand-crafted marionettes and share basics of marionette theory and manipulation.

Did anyone view this live or buy the recording of it? I wanted to know how advanced or basic it was and would you recommend it?

Thanks,
Andy

I wasn't aware of a recording,but if there is i hope its still available i'd like to get it.I heard it was it was a good workshop,nothing about if it was advanced or basic tho.

It says : " Note: All live sessions are over. You can still get all the benefit through this recording. " when you click on the register now button. For $15usd seems like worth a gamble. I'll tell you whats its like in a few days.

Andy

Oh yes please do let us know what you think.

Yes definitly let us know what you think of it.

OK, I paid the $15 USD and watched it. Its wasn't that bad, it was very general but for the price is was great. A little long at times and the audio is hard to hear, really need headphone to get through all the background chit chat at times. So you can see the lecture on a webcam (average quality) setup and can also see the power point presentation in another window and also you can view the online chat forum in another box. So its like really being there. She goes through a rough history, a few professional videos are shown and then she demos a basic marionette and ppl also have a try. Overall its pretty good but i would have liked to have skipped the history part and gotten to see more of her manipulation and hear more of her theory behind the movement techniques she uses. Its a decent watch and you can watch at your own leisure over whatever time period you want.

Great concept for learning though and is a good glimpse of the university of the future.
