Through puppetry, children can explore a range of arts practices, from script-writing to design, and from model-making to performance.
Puppetry is a multi-disciplinary art form, bringing together drama, music, performance and design. Melbourne is home to many great puppeteers, creating a great opportunity for ArtPlay.
ArtPlay’s program of PuppetLab workshops has evolved into a form of ongoing development for participants. Children may initially drop into a short puppet-making workshop, followed by an hour-long puppet show. If they have a taste for puppetry, they may choose to follow up with extended workshops and master classes.
