"Puppet Camp" is a free 1 day event to introduce grown-up folks to several different styles of puppetry with the goal of learning, having fun, making connections, and maybe even forming a small puppet troupe. We'll also be recruiting folks to perform giant pageant-style puppets at All Souls and local parades and processions.Β
We're specifically looking for folks who are seriously interested in developing creative puppetry-based works in the North Portland area.

Registered participants meet back at the pavilion where we will start with a short puppet show by Adam Ende. We will then have two stations set up: standard sized rod puppets and giant (backpack mounted) rod puppets. For the giant puppets, participants will receive coaching on how to put on, wear, perform with, and safely dismount the puppets.Β

Puppet Night!
This is our very first Day of Puppets event, but we plan to do it again with each year's iteration becoming more in depth as we develop our puppetry skill-sets and puppet library, and our connections to folks to feature as guest instructors and performers.
