How to Be a Puppeteer Family Workshop
Ongoing
Location: Digital Learning Suite
Puppeteer Noel MacNeal will lead a one-hour interactive demonstration on professional puppet manipulation and will invite families to try their “hand” at lip-sync (a.k.a. how a puppet talks) with professionally made puppets. Families will do the same exercises Noel has used to train puppeteers for the international versions of Sesame Street. After the demonstration, he will lead a workshop in making simple “origami” puppets that participants can color, fold, and take with them. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
Noel MacNeal has performed on Sesame Street, Bear in the Big Blue House (Bear), Eureeka’s Castle (Magellan & Webbster), and Between the Lions (Lionel). Currently Noel is resident puppeteer on HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Noel is also the author of 10- Minute Puppets and BOX!
