Light your creative spark and join Dead Puppet Society for a Christmas beetle making workshop. Under the guidance of Dead Puppet Society’s artisans at their Fabrication Workshop, you will choose elements of your beetle and observe the material cut-out on the laser cutter, seeing first-hand how laser-cutting technologies are used to build puppets and props for stage productions.
You will then assemble your shiny beetle friend inside a glass dome. Gain insight into the basic principles of puppet design and learn how to bring your beetle to life. Celebrate the colour and beauty of Australia's most iconic beetle in this hands-on holiday-themed experience that combines the craftsmanship of puppetry with the expertise of talented artisans.
Discover the world of design-led theatre that Dead Puppet Society is renowned for. Learn from the masterminds behind box office hits like Holding Achilles, Ishmael, The Wider Earth, and the Australian Premiere of Disney's Peter and the Starcatcher.
There are four dates available for this DPS Social: 5th, 6th, 12th, and 13th December 2024.
