Two for one in this workshop! We'll teach you the technology of two popular "Trick Marionettes" used in 19th century Czech cabaret-style performances.Four Dancers: This ingenious puppet has four marionettes on one controller. Pull one string and all four marionettes lift their leg! See how this puppet is manipulated and learn its very complicated stringing. We'll show you copies of 120 year old antique Czech puppets.Stomper: Discover how to make this simple, very effective marionette! Its technology consists of a carved head attached to a fabric body that lets it stretch up or shrink down. The Stomper is unique to the Czechs, and traditionally all puppet shows ended with this character.During the workshop, we will also talk about the rich tradition and variety of Czech cabaret puppets, very popular in the 19th century.About our Spring Weekend Workshop SeriesThis workshop is part of our online Weekend Workshop Series, started in Fall 2020.
