Tabletop Puppetry Workshop

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Tabletop Puppetry Workshop

Today the puppeteers of Thistle Theatre gave a workshop on tabletop puppetry at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA.

We have been in Atlanta for most of the month of January presenting our show "Brother Coyote and Sister Fox," and today gave this workshop.

The workshop was also presented simultaneously as a webinar, which was recorded.

It should be possible for people who were not able to see the webinar today to view it in the future. Stay tuned to this blog to find out more about that. 

During the workshop, Thistle's puppeteers demonstrated tabletop puppetry techniques and invited workshop participants to try their hands with Thistle's puppets. 

Tabletop puppetry is a modified form of Bunraku, a Japanese puppetry form, but performed on a table (Bunraku is performed in mid-air, rather than on a solid surface).
