About the HANDSPRING PUPPET COMPANY

Puppetry schools

There are many puppetry schools and courses run all over the world. A comprehensive list of these schools is to be found at the UNIMA USA website: http://www.unima-usa.org/scholarships/schools.html

Handspring does not often run puppet theatre courses, though two week-long courses for professional puppeteers are being planned for March 2010 in Cape Town. They will coincide with the Out of the Box puppetry festival. One course will focus on the design of puppet mechanisms and the other will feature puppet manipulation. As soon as the structure and dates for these courses has been properly planned, a more expansive description will appear on this website.
