Airborne Artistry – Gretchen Maynard Hahn Step into the World of Inflatable Puppetry! A workshop for professional artists exploring the innovative and dynamic art of creating inflatable puppets for performance.
Unleash your creativity in this hands-on workshop as you explore the innovative art of inflatable puppets that can be worn, manipulated and brought to life in a dazzling array of performances.
Participants will dive into the design, construction, and manipulation of these lightweight, larger-than-life creations. Learn how to transform inflatables into characters, costumes, sculptures, set pieces, and immersive structures that captivate and engage audiences.
Blending the principles of puppetry and costume design, this workshop is perfect for artists, performers, theatre makers, and educators who want to push the boundaries of performance and interactive art.
The grand finale? A mini parade and interactive showcase, where participants’ creations will shine in a lively public sharing, inviting audience participation and celebrating the full spectacle of wearable art.
This workshop takes place across two consecutive days from 10 AM to 4 PM.
