> 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.
