FREE WORKSHOP – Basic Puppetry (for adults)

 

Join us in our basic puppetry workshop!

Please note, this session is for adults only, our family-friendly puppet workshop is available here

 

Basic Puppetry

Do you have a puppet at home and wish you had more confidence in using it? You can see how helpful it could be in your online content for church and kids sessions too but you are just not sure where to start? Then our Basic Puppet workshop is just what you need…

Come and be inspired by the potential of puppetry! This fun and interactive workshop will work through the six foundations of puppetry and also cover basic arm rod use. Perfect if you are looking for a refresher or just getting started in using puppets! Make sure you have a puppet with a moving mouth and arm rods with you. One of our large people puppets (available here) would be ideal. David Jones (Director of One Way UK) who has been involved in puppetry for over 21 years will host and lead this Zoom workshop.

 

This FREE event will be held through the Zoom video conference on Tuesday 25th August starting at 7:30pm (BST) for approximately 60 minutes. To register your place, simply select a ticket below. Please note there is a limited number of places available. If you are signing up on behalf of somebody else, please use all their details (including name and email).

Puppet Training Day – Faversham, Kent

Saturday 14th March 2020 - St. Mary’s Primary School, Orchard Place, Faversham, Kent, ME13 8AP

A practical day full of opportunities to develop your skills, find resources and be inspired with new ideas!

This exciting puppet training day is designed to give you hands on experience within the following areas: basic and advanced puppetry skills, solo and theatre style puppetry, how to start a puppet ministry (including finances, equipment, recruiting etc.), props and scenery, choreography, putting a song together and much more! There will also be performances and demonstrations throughout the day to give you plenty of starting ideas.

The day is for adults and young people, those who are curious as to how puppetry can enhance your outreach, schools workers, church leaders, Sunday school teachers, youth/children's workers or those already involved in puppet ministry and wanting to improve or refresh their skills! There will also be a large range of resources available for you to try out and purchase, including the latest puppets from the One Way UK Creative Productions workshop! Please contact us if there is anything specific you would like us to bring.

But why puppetry?

In 1 Corinthians 9:22 Paul wrote "I have become all things to all men, that by all means, I might save some." The last thing on Paul's mind would have been evangelism through puppetry! However, his words fit the vision that lies behind the development of One Way UK. Puppets are increasingly being used in TV adverts and marketing, proving to be both entertaining and visually memorable, so the vision is, because both children and adults enjoy and engage with puppets, why not evangelise and teach the Gospel through the art of puppetry? Puppeteers associated with One Way UK have proven how effective puppet ministry can be in a wide variety of environments; churches, schools, care homes, prisons, community events and more! They have even performed all over the world! The international popularity of puppetry confirms its appeal as an effective multicultural tool. Ask puppeteers and they will tell you that they use puppetry... because it works!
