Our Workshops
We design and teach stages and workshops of building and
manipulation of any puppetry techniques (glove,
marotte, muppet, rod, table top, shadow, object, string, etc.),
with the duration and level desired, according to the
participant’s age and the objectives to be achieved.
And we will teach them anywhere: Cultural, Educational, Social
Centers, etc.
However, we have two models of very functional workshops open to everyone:
WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION TO THE MARIONETTE

similar space, with a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 30 pupils
from 6 years old.
This stage of one hour includes:

the show SOLOIST

2.- The explanation of the anatomical constitution of the
marionettes, with a nude puppet, doing particular attention on
joints and where the strings goes on puppet and control and why,
demonstrating each point with a slow manipulation, to let
appreciate the simultaneous movement of the puppet and its control
in our hands.
3.- Eventually, with two puppets, the used at the beginning plus
another of similar, also with short strings to size of the pupils,

This stage of between 45 minutes and 1 hour includes:
1.- Each pupil receives an envelope with a "kit" with all the
necessary elements for the assembly of the figure.

how to assemble the puppet step by step.

characterization of eyes, mouth, etc.

hold and move it.
5.- Optionally, depending on the time remaining, the puppet in the
hands of the participants will dance a simple version of the
traditional dance of the Catalan glove puppets "The Tururut
Dance".
And for students of Dramatic Art and puppeteers:
WORKSHOP "MAESTRA MARIONETTA" (marionette and object on stage)
It can be done in a classroom, auditorium, gymnasium, theater or
similar space, with a maximum of 15 pupils from 18 years old.
The stage has a total duration of 20-24 hours in 4-5 days.
AIMS:
First, demonstrate to the pupils the puppet and object theaters
from a perspective, far from the simplistic and reductive image
for distorted and stereotyped, which usually receives this scenic
modality. Helping them to discover or recognize other ways and
possibilities in the field of theatrical expression. Secondly,
with a phase of training and practice on stage, the pupils acquire
new tools and resources about object animation that can be of
interest and application to other forms of Dramatic and
Performative Arts.
