Puppetry for Writers

Class Continuing Education Course Creative Workshop Arts & Culture Classes Literature Other Arts and Culture For Adults Socializing Other Entertainment Nonprofit Events Workshop Theater Poetry Plays Performance Art

What’s Happening?

Are you looking for a different way to tap into your creativity? Are you ready to experience the curiosity, wonder, and empathy that puppetry naturally inspires?

Under the guidance of puppeteer and poet Mobi Warren, workshop participants will build a simple hand puppet from paper mâché and cloth, and breathe life into the personality that emerges. The process may culminate in a poem, a short prose piece, or a monologue puppet script. Participants will explore unexpected insights that emerge as the puppet acquires form. No puppetry experience is required to attend this workshop, and writers of all levels are welcome.  

Dates/Times: Saturdays, April 1, 8, 22, 29, 10am – 12pm CST
Cost: Nonmember:  $165  Member:  $145  Student/Vet/Mil: $95

Puppeteer Mobi Warren is the author of the young adult novel The Bee Maker and a poetry collection, Thread and Nectar. She is co-founder of the regional writers and artists collaborative, Stone in Stream, which advocates for environmental awareness and climate justice. Mobi serves on the Board of the National Capital Puppetry Guild.  An animist at heart, she is enchanted by the livingness of all materials and is currently in thrall to the wild (and sometimes unruly) species known as puppets, and how making and animating a puppet can help a writer engage more deeply with creative and empathetic energies.
