FEATURED PROGRAM:
From Poland to America, My Life in Puppetry & Theatre
Presented by Jacek Zuzanskii

The founder and director of Dream Tale Puppets, puppeteer Jacek Zuzanski studied at Ludwik Solski's State Theatre School, the Wroclaw Pantomime Thea- tre, and The Academy of Fine Arts in Poland before coming to America. He will give a presentation about his life in puppetry, and talk about his own unique philosophy of theater, where inquiry and curiosity are fundamental, and exploring artistic vocabulary can lead to exciting results. He will show some of his puppets, and dem- onstrate some of his techniques.

We will also talk about upcoming events this summer. There will also be a Show and Tell for people to share what they’ve been up to. Bring your latest puppet to show!

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

More BAGOP Events

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 or offer performances at venues such as schools, community centers, and birthday parties. Click here to learn more about BAGOP or download a Membership Form.
