PuppeTV at YMS Summer School!
PuppeTV at YMS Summer School!
In January 2010 the Purple Capsicum Puppets
team conducted puppetry workshops at the
legendary YMS Music Summer School in
Canberra, ACT.
The two puppetry classes were extremely
popular, and participants undertook three very
cool projects:
Rod Puppet Making
Giant Parade Puppet Making & Roving
PuppeTV
All projects were great, but here at PCP we're
most excited about the PuppeTV component.
Being a music summer school, the film focuses
on music, and asked the participants to
respond to two questions: 'What do you like
about music?' and 'What makes you dance?'
The film was created over 6 45 minute classes
we're pretty stoked with the results!
