FROM ROD TO PUPPET
The workshop is intended for adults who dedicate their professional commitment to the education and upbringing of children. Workshop participants will create a puppet whose technology and animation are based on elements of bunraku, a traditional Japanese puppet theater. The technology and production, and thus the animation of the puppet, are simplified, and workshop participants can use the puppet as a starting point for creating a more complex puppet. The puppet can be animated by one or two animators. Participation in the workshop provides insight into the technology and solutions offered by a professional creator and maker of puppet theater, with extensive experience in working with children and adults. The goal of the workshop is to unleash playfulness and simplicity, both in the creation and in the making of the puppet.
