Hi all,

A few puppeteers friends and I do a basic "intro to puppetry" workshop in Toronto every January. This year it's taking place next weekend. It's a full day workshop. The first half of the day will be spent on some basic on camera exercises, explaining how monitors work and basic puppetry concepts like lip sync, thought and focus, etc.; the second half deals with Bunraku-style or "team" puppetry.

It's completely free, no strings attached (ha!). Just something we do every year to meet people interested in puppetry and share what we collectively know. Space is somewhat limited though. If you're in or near T.O., would like to check it out and meet some interesting puppetry people send me a private message and I can provide you with details.

For those who aren't in the area, this year I am going to try to post notes and the handouts from the workshop this year as long as everyone else involved is OK with it.

What if you video taped some of it and posted it on you tube?

Unfortunately, taping it and posting it to YouTube isn't really practical because there are close to 20 people involved and they have to all consent to being videotaped. That's a little more paperwork than I'm prepared to do on a Sunday I'm afraid!

I'll definitely make sure notes get posted online in the next week or two though.

how about taping those that do agree.
I think some video examples would be great.
