Trash Puppets: Creature Creation for Low-Resource Worlds
Sunday, November 9
12-1:30 p.m.
The Victor Jory Theatre at Actors Theatre of Louisville (316 West Main Street)
Join Actors Theatre of Louisville in partnership with the Louisville Tool Library for a hands-on workshop in our Stagecraft Tools for the Apocalypse series.
This session, Trash Puppets: Creature Creation for Low-Resource Worlds, explores the art of puppetry as a tool for creativity, sustainability, and survival. Because when the world gets strange, at least you can build a friend.
Using scavenged and low-resource materials like straws, rubber bands, sticks, cans, bottles, buttons, and yarn, participants will construct imaginative puppet companions from everyday debris. The workshop will include simple techniques for movement and expression, focusing on creativity and play rather than precision.
By the end of the session, each participant will have built a one-of-a-kind friend from the remnants of the world: a reminder that art and imagination can thrive anywhere, even in uncertain times.
FREE for Members of Actors Theatre of Louisville or Louisville Tool Library
