Puppetry Workshop

Puppetry workshop

An hour-long workshop, led by Marta Hermannová of The Zlin Project.

Join Marta Hermannová for an engaging workshop based on the puppet theatre production "The Zlín Project." This session will delve into the animation techniques we discovered during the creation of this production. Additionally, we will discuss the integration of puppet theatre with theatre based on real, including historical, events. This workshop is designed for performance attendees interested in deepening their understanding of puppetry and its application in such storytelling. The session will include an introductory talk about "The Zlín Project" and its creative process, followed by small group activities where participants will experiment with the discussed techniques, and a collaborative exploration of the potential of puppetry in theatre. The aim is to introduce participants to the possibilities of puppet theatre that they may not have encountered before, providing new insights and practical experience. The workshop will last one hour.
