> notion of using puppets as a medium to tell stories with special emphasis
> on the importance of the relationship between the puppeteer, the puppet
> and the audience.  By using a simple found object, the participants are
> introduced to the five basic principals of a puppet presentation, and talk
> generally about simple techniques.  Participants will be encouraged to
> explore these techniques through exercises using generic characters
> designed for two or more manipulators.  The objective of the workshop is
> to add to the participants' knowledge of puppetry through movement,
> observation and repetition.  The session concludes with a demonstration of
> puppets drawn from actual characters used in Mermaid Theatre of Nova
> Scotia's touring shows.

This workshop is suitable for puppeteers, theatre artists, educators and
