Dream Tale Puppets is offering a free online workshop in acting with puppets.
We will be exploring acting with tabletop and figure puppets, as well as the relationship between live acting and acting with puppets. This will include developing more than one character, acting with multiple puppets at the same time, and employing elements of realistic and nonrealistic live acting (including elements of pantomime, acting in a mask, and principles examined by Theatre Anthropology). In this performing style, actors perform in full view of the audience. Instructions, training, improvisations, and developing scenes will form the basic blocks of the program.
Workshops will be led by Jacek Zuzanski, a director, actor, and puppeteer known for his mastery in combining puppetry and stylized live acting. https://dreamtalepuppets.com/about/jacek_zuzanski/.
This initial workshop will be the first part of a series of similar projects. It will start on Saturday, May 15 at 1:00 PM, and will continue once a week through Saturday, June 19.
