Marionette Manipulation
Presented by Tanglewood Marionettes
Mon, Oct 28, 2013, 7pm - 9pm
onsite and recorded for online viewing
Ages 14 & up (Beginner)




Tanglewood’s master puppeteers will discuss some of the construction and stringing techniques used when building marionettes, and then demonstrate the basics of marionette manipulation.  Participants will be provided with professional-quality marionettes for the duration of the workshop.  These marionettes will be short-strung to allow the participants to work them at floor-level.  Students will begin with simple manipulation, such as turning the puppet's head or raising its hand, and then progress to compound movements, such as sitting or walking.  Emphasis will be placed on encouraging participants to carefully observe real-world movement.  The workshop will culminate with applying the movement techniques learned to express emotions.

Format: Demo and Hands-on
Capacity: 25 onsite
Cost - Onsite: General Public: $30; Members: $20
Cost - Recorded Playback: General Public: $15; Members: $10

thanks Shawn!..I really wanted to attend this back when it was live but  my work schedule messed up that idea...

well i watched this webinar,all in all it wasn't bad but it was lacking in a few areas...you spend most of your time just watching the attending class playing with the marionettes.The instructors should have spent a minute or two more addressing the people on the web.I admit i picked up a few tips here and there,but no  more than what i could pick up just watching random vids on youtube.I think if you're going to conduct a webinar you should acknowledge the web group a bit more else you're just recording a class.Showing an hour and a half of the marionettes from the floor level doesn't show you much about how manipulation is done..well thats my thoughts on the webinar..it was fun to watch but not all that much for manipulation..
