Join David, Ian and Cam (who, between them, have over 60 years of experience in puppetry), as they share their passion, knowledge and expertise as puppeteers in this complete, over two hours long, puppet training DVD, it has so much packed in, we even had to split it over two discs!
Starting by working through the foundational skills, to taking things further by building up your confidence in using arm rods and adding in choreography and other advanced puppetry techniques. starting just by yourself? Not a problem... We have included over 30 minutes of focused training exploring solo puppetry and showing that even with just a single person, the possibilities are huge...
At One Way UK, we have been providing training and resources to equip churches and communities since 1991. We love to encourage and inspire others to use puppets as an engaging and effective communication tool. Whether that’s in churches, schools or in the community, our experience has been that not only do children relate to puppets, children themselves are also great puppeteers! From the age of nine or even younger, children can express themselves through a puppet when they may not be confident enough to do so by themselves. Anyone of any age or background can relate to and engage with puppets... remember, never underestimate the power of a puppet! So what are you waiting for? It’s time to release the potential of puppetry!
