50 Hand Puppet Techniques - Class Session Trailer

To preserve the art form and to empower a new generation of performers, NYC puppeteer Chad Williams teaches a master class of 50 different hand puppet techniques in this fun workshop for all skill levels.
Participants will create their own 'quick puppets' and learn the best techniques and secrets from a hand puppetry expert. Chad incorporates moves from Chinese Bu Dai Xi, European glove puppetry, and other traditions into his modern style. Actors, teachers, professional puppeteers, board members and more have taken this workshop in the USA and internationally.
Chad Williams has performed thousands of hand puppet shows and studied under some of the most prestigious names in American puppetry. Combining techniques from European, Chinese and Modern hand puppet styles, he developed his own system and has taught it to actors, puppeteers, teachers, parents and others at universities and international festivals.
This is a multi-session workshop that can be done in-person or virtually. Single session workshops are also available.
