Hand and Rod 102(18+)

Character, Intention, and Expression
Hand & Rod Puppetry 102 is a multi-session intermediate course for students who have taken Hand & Rod Puppetry 101 and are ready to focus on character development through puppet performance.

This series builds directly on the foundational skills introduced in 101, strengthening core principles such as lip sync, breath, focus, and weight while applying them to character-driven work.

The course centers on bringing the puppet to life through clear and expressive movement. Students will explore how thought, emotion, and point of view are communicated through action, shifting the focus from how a puppet moves to what moves it.
