What do you need to consider when making a controller for your marionette? We will start with the basic Czech-style controllers for a human marionette, including the differences between a puppet on a wire vs. a puppet on strings. Then how to adjust your controller for special movements of hands and feet, moveable jaw, special controllers for trick variety puppets, how to design a controller for an animal marionette, including how to add wings/tail/moveable jaw and how you can adjust it depending on its size, technology.
Find out the secrets of how to design and construct controllers for all types of marionettes. After the workshop, make your own with our "recipe" including instructions on how to make a simple version.
