Puppet Theatre Classes

Puppet Performance

Learn to communicate character through precise movement, timing, and focus. Classes cover puppet handling, expressive gestures, and stage awareness, with exercises that help students coordinate voice and motion. Practice scenes and performance techniques in a supportive learning environment. Suitable class formats can be adapted for beginners or students seeking to strengthen existing puppetry skills.

Puppet Design

Study how a puppet’s shape, materials, and features support its character and movement. Students explore design concepts, plan a puppet, and practice basic construction techniques suited to the project. Instruction emphasizes thoughtful choices and functional details, so the finished puppet can perform as intended. Class projects may vary by age group, experience, and learning goals.

Voice and Character

Explore vocal choices, character intention, and the connection between voice and physical performance. Students practice creating distinct characters, shaping dialogue, and coordinating speech with puppet movement. Exercises focus on clear communication, timing, and expressive control. This training can support solo work, ensemble scenes, and students who want to develop a more complete approach to puppet theatre.
