NEW WORKSHOP! PuppetSoup is offering a brand new online course in Teatro Lambe Lambe Puppetry! This course is available to students worldwide – whether you’re based in the USA, Canada, the UK, or beyond. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the fascinating world of Brazilian puppetry, this is your chance to learn from Fagner Gastaldon, one of the world’s leading specialists in Teatro Lambe Lambe.
What’s it all about?
Teatro Lambe Lambe is an incredibly unique form of puppetry that takes place in a tiny, portable theatre box, where a single spectator experiences a short but magical show (usually 2-5 minutes). If you’ve ever wanted to create a miniature world of puppetry, this is your chance to learn from Fagner Gastaldon, one of the leading specialists in the world of Teatro Lambe Lambe, and the heart behind PuppetSoup. Fagner, who is a multi-award-winning Brazilian puppeteer, will guide you through every aspect of designing, building, and performing in this charming art form.
When are the classes?
The course will run over four weekends (8 days total) with live, interactive online classes:
September 20th, 21st, 27th, 28th
October 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th
Timings:
12pm EST (USA) / 5pm BST (UK)
This means it's perfect for students from the USA, Canada, the UK, and beyond!
Why should you join?
This isn’t just a regular puppetry class – it’s a creative journey where you’ll get to design and build your very own Teatro Lambe Lambe and create the mini puppets that will bring it to life. You’ll also receive expert tuition in performance techniques, set and puppet design, and much more. The course is suitable for everyone – from total beginners to advanced puppeteers – and the small group size (only 10 participants per class) means you’ll get plenty of one-on-one support.
Exciting Collaboration:
We’re thrilled to be partnering once again with the National Capital Puppetry Guild to offer this course in the USA. This collaboration also means that one lucky participant will receive a scholarship to join the course, making this an even more accessible opportunity for those who may need it.
