Giant Puppet Making and Performing Masterclass

Creating a giant puppet is a melange of skills and disciplines resulting in larger-than-life creations which tickle the imagination and evoke awe and joy. In this 7-day intensive, you will work alongside this master artist on multiple aspects of giant puppet building including character and story creation, design, construction, costuming and finally performance technique and craft of a new giant puppet to be featured at the next Woodford Folk Festival. Drawing on Daniele Poidomani’s extenstive experience in the craft, participants will have the opportunity to employ deep observations of the world around us, considering the subtle reflections and poignant conversations that can be re-created on a giant scale through the eyes of a 5 metre high puppet.
