| Short Description | Perfect for beginners & veterans, this hands-on workshop will help you push your characters beyond basics. Join puppeteer & creature designer Michael Schupbach & learn how to make characters great! |
| Long Description | Take your puppet or gaming characters from good to great. Join veteran puppeteer and creature designer Michael Schupbach as he shares the same tools and tricks he’s used on Sesame Street, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show, Bear in the Big Blue House, and Avenue Q to bring foam and fleece to life with personality, heart, and humor. You'll explore how voice, movement, focus, and intention can turn a simple puppet into a scene-stealing character. Learn how to avoid the “puppet traps” and instead build distinct, believable personas that audiences remember. You'll also get his go-to techniques for developing a character’s backstory, emotional range, and “signature moves”—those subtle but powerful details that separate a solid performance from a great one. Bring your puppet (or use one of ours), warm up your imagination, and get ready to dig deep, go big, and maybe get a little weird. |
