Puppets in Prague Marionette Carving Workshop

Photos and videos from the Puppets in Prague Marionette Carving workshop, 4th-18th June 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic.
Over this 15 day workshop, the participants learned how to carve wooden marionettes (string/wire puppets), which also involved doing technical drawings, painting, costume making and assembling. The course is run by Mirek Trejtnar and Leah Gaffen, with other visiting tutors including Zdar Sorm (carving/technology), Sota Sakuma (carving) and Dora Bouzkova (puppet manipulation).
This workshop also coincided with the Prague Quadrennial - an international exhibition of scenography and theatre that is held in Prague every 4 years and draws entries from over 60 countries. At the end of the workshop, the students performed in "Street Stories" at Prague's Jungmann Square, as part of the Quadrennial's "Scenofest" programme.
