Being a solo puppeteer raises many questions…

What’s my relationship to the puppets?

How do I operate multiple characters at the same time?

How do I keep the story alive while dealing with the technical stuff?

And how do I create when working alone?

Rene Baker’s new online course ‘The Solo Puppeteer’ will explore all of these topics.

The Details:

Using precise techniques, you’ll cover:

• Levels of presence in puppet and performer
• Splitting your attention, coordination and guiding focus
• Creating distinctive characters
• Tips for devising work alone
• Plus, any questions you have

Rene Baker’s workshops have been developed with professional puppeteers, actors and directors in mind but previous experience in puppetry is not a requirement. You will work with your own materials but if you don’t have your own puppets, a soft toy, piece of paper or a tea pot can become characters too.
