PUPPETRY AND CLOWN

with Vivian Gladwell and Caroline Ada
10-15 AUG 2025


This new 6-day in-person course brings together Caroline’s many years of experience as a puppeteer and performer and Vivian’s four years of working online with puppetry and clowning.

What can puppets teach us about reclaiming our human connection to each other and to our world?

For beginners as well as confirmed clowns or puppeteers this course is about finding freedom and discovering the many internal dialogues that we carry within us. We will explore the basics of clowning and comedy through improvisations with puppets. We will also look at making our own puppets out of simple everyday objects.

Puppetry is about making the world around us come alive and giving a voice to our innermost thoughts. See links about puppetry below.

The group is limited to 12 participants.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
Anyone with an interest in discovering clowning and/or puppetry and how the two can enhance one another. Beginners and professionals alike are welcome.
