This course introduces students to the art of puppetry as a form of theatrical storytelling. In addition to exposure to a variety of puppetry forms, students will have the opportunity to design and build puppets based on their newfound knowledge. Students will read a number of playscripts that either incorporate puppetry or use it exclusively as the mode of staging. The course culminates in production portfolio presentations and scene selection performances.
