Concrete Temple Theatre’s Puppetry & Design Workshop: Ratan
Tuesday, May 19
6-8:30 PM
$30 Suggested Donation
The dramaturgy of puppetry is all in the design. The design of a puppet tells a story as much as the narrative, and design goes hand in hand with the chosen construction materials. This workshop will introduce participants to different ways of approaching the construction of puppets and lead participants in the construction of a simple puppet using ratan.
Concrete Temple Theatre’s work has been called “compelling” (The New York Times), “charming” (The New Yorker), “dazzling and engaging” (The Village Voice), “smart and rewarding” (Talkin’ Broadway), “beautifully acted and exhilarating” (Soho Journal) and “delightful” (The Independent, UK).

Bequeathed is a surreal, playful, semi-autobiographical puppet show about the fight to unravel the gender binary, all told through a fantastical fiber arts world.
