FEBRuary 24 - 26, 2023
Build Better. Together.
On Your Mark, Get Set...GOAL! Do you have puppet mechs on your mind? A puppetry project to puzzle out? Connect with your National Capital Puppetry Guild to build community AND move your work forward. We gather together over a weekend for goal-setting, progress reports, breakout rooms, exchange of resources AND knowledge -- you name it! Be energized and stay connected to your puppetry community.
To keep things accessible, you can choose to make a donation in any amount that works for you OR register for free. We do this by the honor system and ask that you pay as you are able. We value each donation, but we value our members ability to participate most of all! All participants will receive Zoom Links the Wednesday prior to the event.
This Mech-a-thon will be co-lead by Peter Court, Heidi Rugg, and Sarah Bourne. They are all experienced builders with decades of experience (meaning, they have all worked on mechs, failing AND succeeding in many spectacular ways that can be valuable to learn from!). Come and pick their brains and the brains of the other participants!
