This winter is the perfect time to stay inside, dive into live, hands-on puppetry workshops and make something extraordinary. That’s why, due to popular demand, the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival is expanding its teaching artist roster and tripling its winter line-up of live, online puppetry workshops for actors, artists and theater craftsmen interested in expanding their skill sets and creating new works. Chicago Puppet Festival workshops cover a range of puppetry styles including Shadow, 3D Fabrication, Crankies and Pop Up Books. Registration is now open at chicagopuppetfest.org for the following One-Week Intensives ($225 each) and four Six-Week Courses ($285 each). The Festival’s live online workshops are for adults, ideally with some performance and/or builder’s experience. Limited scholarships available upon request. BIPOC encouraged to apply. To request email info@chicagopuppetfest.org with a brief statement of interest/need.
