Children's Workshop - Pop-Up Puppets

Presented by: Norwich Puppet Theatre

Tue 7th Aug 2012

Price: £7.80

Running time: 90 minutes

Ages: 5+

First you will create a rod puppet, with head, costume and character of your choice. Then it is made into a Jack-in-the-Box (or pop-up) puppet by attaching the fabric body to a pot base, and using the rod to move the head of the puppet up and down -- popping it in and out of its box!

Using a range of materials, you can create a pop-up puppet character to take home.

Children’s Workshops

For children aged 5 and over.

Each session is themed to a particular type of puppet - from rod puppet to marionette, Bunraku, glove and many more besides. Further information about each workshop can be found on our What’s On page.

After constructing the basic puppet form, your child will be free to create the puppet’s character using the vast array of materials provided. The only restriction will be their imagination and at the end they will have a wonderful puppet to take home!

Please note: during these sessions the child will be working with their peers, supported by our workshop leaders. Accompanying adults may either remain in our foyer and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee or return to collect the child at the end of the workshop.

Workshops last for 1½ hours with a short break midway for a snack or a drink. These can be purchased from our shop or you can bring your own.

We also run workshops for Preschool Children (aged 2-5); Families (adults and children aged 4+); andAdults. Check the listings for details of upcoming events.
