About this Event
This workshop is your chance to learn the performance techniques that make a puppet feel alive on camera. The precise skills, tricks, and techniques that bring a character to life on the screen.
Led by Michael Schupbach (Sesame Street, Bear in the Big Blue House, Avenue Q, Ms. Rachel), a creature designer, Muppet Creature Shop Alum, and puppetry coach, this hands-on session uses playful, practical exercises used by the professionals in television and film puppetry.
You will learn how to:
- Find your puppet’s eye focus
- Nail lip-sync and voice so a character feels authentic
- Move and share space onscreen
- And communicate warmth, humor, through your character(s)
This is a low-stakes, supportive space to explore something you may have wanted to try for a long time. No pressure, no performing for an audience. Just curiosity, guidance, and room to learn.
- No experience needed
- Wear clothes you can move in and dont mind getting some puppet fur on
- Puppets provided (or bring your own)
- Ages 18+
Group size is intentionally small (minimum 5, maximum 15) to ensure everyone receives personal guidance. Reserve your spot now!
