Part One: Building a Scarf Marionette
Participants will create their own Roser style scarf puppet. Parts of the puppet will be pre-constructed, but each participant will receive complete instructions on how to build one on their own.

Part Two: Manipulation
Participants will learn basic performance skills in using this style puppet. This includes basic marionette theory and technique. There will be puppets provided for those who did not take Part One.

One does not need to take both workshops, although it is recommended. These workshops cover skill levels from beginner to intermediate.
