Puppet Recipes 9: Make a puppet show

About the Workshop

Puppeteers Jakub Sulik and Johana Bartova started the Fras company in 2019, and since then their company has become well known in the Czech puppet world for their creative approach to puppet and object theater. They integrate a variety of media in their shows, from the very natural (melting beeswax candles) to computer games and projection. In this workshop, you will learn about their own work and how they draw from the materials that they choose to work with. You will learn how they approach the dramaturgy of their highly original shows giving you ideas about how to do that with your own projects. At this workshop, you can draw inspiration from their approach as well as learn about the most important aspects to think about when you are creating your own puppet show. After the workshop, prepare an outline of a 3-minute, nonverbal show that you can present at our online 25th anniversary at our annual New Year's Eve Online Party! We will give you feedback on your ideas.
