Playdoh's Writing for Puppets workshop

This outdoor workshop explores how to craft stories with images & action uniquely suited towards puppet theatre. We will combine movement, drawing, writing, and collage to experiment with how different mediums can inform storytelling. Participants are encouraged to bring an object they’re drawn to, to bring a notebook and pens, and to wear clothes easy to move in.  Participants will arrange images inspired by a movement exercise. These images (with accompanying text) formed the storyboard/outline for a short puppet play. 

The conductor of this workshop is Playdoh. 

     Playdoh is a multimedia performance artist exploring contested spaces and animated objects. They work as a prop and puppet maker and performer, creating work that irreverently comments on the way we structure our lives under capitalism, and the ways we try and fail to create and maintain authentic connections with one another. Most of their productions are created from trash and recycled materials…
