Boston Area Guild of Puppetry

NEXT GUILD MEETING:
Sunday, March 14th, 5:15 PM
at the Puppet Showplace Theatre,
32 Station St., Brookline, MA

Program:
Puppetry Rhythm and Timing"

Dramatic plays, movies, mime: They all require an implementation of rhythm and timing. So, let's discuss in-depth how the the elements of rhythm and timing work to make a puppet show successful.

How does a puppeteer go about developing rythm and timing, or, coordinating movement? Hand-puppetry, marionettes, rod-puppetry and all (hopefully) will be included in our discussion.

There will also be a Show and Tell, and “Where You At” for people to tell what they’ve been up to. We will also talk about ideas for the next Day of Puppetry.
NEW MEMBERS WELCOME!

There will be a potluck supper during the break, so please bring something to share. (And remember to take your dishes at the end!)

The Boston Area Guild of Puppetry is a chartered guild of the Puppeteers of America. We are a collection of puppeteers and puppet enthusiasts ranging from professional performers and artists to educators and hobbyists, located throughout upper New England. We hold meetings several times a year at the Puppet Showplace Theatre, to share knowledge and inspiration, and to offer support to other puppeteers.

We offer workshops, consultations and support for those interested in puppetry. We have members who specialize in custom-made puppets. We also have members who offer performances at a variety of venues such as schools, community centers, and birthday parties. Learn more about BAGOP.
