What to do in a    Puppet Emergency 

Would you know what to do in a Puppet emergency?​

 

Masterpuppeteer Mark Down is here to help. In this essential lecture demonstration he guides you through the ten vital steps you need to know to bring a puppet to life and keep it alive until professional help arrives.

 

The talk covers making the puppet breathe, what to focus on, how to make it walk, what to think about, and where emotion comes from. You will learn how to get passersby to do puppetry with you, how to manage a team of performers, and what to do when you are on your own. ​

​

Funny, informative, funny and life-saving. 

 

Every puppet festival should begin with this talk. In fact not just every puppet festival, every festival. 

 

Attending this talk could save a puppet’s life.​
