Creating puppet shows that can be shared in a virtual format. 2. Crafting puppet characters focusing on voice, movement, and form. 3. Exploring a variety of puppetry styles. The project will be run through a combination of scheduled Zoom sessions, YouTube instruction and Email. Participants are asked to commit to a minimum of ten one-hour sessions. Puppets and skits created during the project will be shown in an online exhibition on the project website and might be shown by the project supporters (Pittsburgh Center for Arts & Media and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts).
