A Short Master Class with

Peter Balkwill of the Old Trout Puppet Workshop (Calgary)

Not to be missed by anyone seriously interested in puppetry performance, this three day workshop will include a component of identifying the parameters of a puppet and

a simple construction approach in pairs. This series of sessions will address what we expect from puppets, working in collaboration and consensus and then team puppeteering. Peter will of course include his amazingly useful Suzuki exercises and dip into impulse articulation geared for the silent narrative, leading into the arena of group creation.
