Matleo,

what are the construction classes like at Uconn? I looked at their cirriculum, and is was very heavy on the performance side of puppetry, but how good was it on character design and construction?

thanks.

Dearest Mr. Michael Earl:

With all due respect, I don't care how many Emmys you've won, please stop spamming this website. We've all seen your 11 posts about your UK teaching tour. You should probably be banned.

Kevin,

I'm sorry you feel that way. From my point of view, I'm furthering the TV puppetry technique that Jim Henson and Frank Oz pioneered. I think it's important that Muppet-style puppetry does not die out...which is what's been happening the last few years. Jim was the one who first encouraged me to teach...so I did...and continue to...letting people know on a site that celebrates him and his work.

Best,

Michael
