Puppetry on Screen: Marvels of Media Workshop

1:00–2:30 p.m.

As part of the Marvels of Media initiative, autistic children and their families are welcome to join us for this Puppetry on Screen workshop. Instructed by Puppeteer in Residence Brian Carson, participants will focus on the making of a one-minute short video that involves puppet characters resolving a problem. You will bring a puppet character to life on screen by writing a short scene, learning to perform, and then filming the scene with a green screen. Recommended for kids ages 7–13 and their families.     

Free with RSVP.
