"FROM PAGE TO STAGE!"
Hello, National Capital Puppetry Guild!
Welcome to 2024!
Dino has been working hard to create something special for you this year…. All our slated workshops, make-a-thons, and potpourris will be unified under a central theme: “From Page to Stage!”
The intention is to provide you with the scaffolding you’ll need to take a performance piece from conception to reality, including the logistics that sometimes get overlooked from an educational angle.
The content we’re offering throughout 2024 is intended to be a connected whole, but every workshop and event can still be enjoyed as a standalone session. Choose your own growth adventure this year with the NCPG as your trusted guide! If you have the flicker of an idea you’ve been looking for a time to flesh out, this is the perfect excuse to slowly welcome it into the world, and we hope you’ll use the opportunities to ‘show and tell’ your progress at our virtual lobby after each event.
Outline of anticipated events, all at 1pm EST:
January 21- Writing Puppet Scripts (Special Guest: Pam Severns)
February 18- Potpourri #1
March 24- Contracts, Copyright, and Liability (Justin Laughter)
April 21 – PUPPET BUILDING #1
May 19- Tech Talks: Lighting Plots and Audio Design (PANEL)
June 23- Potpourri #2
July 14- Rehearsal Techniques & Play
August 17/18- DINO DAY PARTY! (Workshop, Potpourri 3, Membership Drive)
