Leslie Carrara characterization workshop

[charlie bird]

Hi everyone I just met Leslie Cara and I was so excited to meet her! She is the most amazing muppeteer! She can do so many amazing voices and hosted a characterization workshop at the museum of puppetry arts. She is such a inspiration and really studies characters beyond what anyone could ask her about them. She makes some of her own puppets for her shows and they look awesome, they are made of whatever she or anyone else is about to disown .She can realy work with anything to make an amazing puppet. She is an amazing person to meet and they introduced me to her personally when my friend Wes and I went 2 hours early on accident, but it was soooooooooooo worth the long drive!
Thank you for letting me share my awesome exspeirience
