2018 will mark the return of the full 15 day program so get ready for physical training, yoga, articulation labs and a unique design laboratory with a fully stocked, puppet-making studio set against the backdrop of the beautiful Massachusetts Berkshires.

Instruction focuses on physical awareness, character development, ensemble building & puppet design. In addition, participants will work toward the development of original material presented at the end of the workshop at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) and take part in a collective creation project which will be presented as part of the Berkshire Lantern Walk in partnership with the world renown Clark Art Institute.

The New England Puppet Intensive is open to puppeteers, actors, dancers, directors, designers, teachers, visual artists, writers, and anyone with a willing spirit.

Stretch your creativity in an environment which fosters colloquy, experimentation, and collaborative development! For complete registration information and details, visit newenglandpuppet.org.
