This November, PS21 is thrilled to bring together two acclaimed theater companies, Concrete Temple Theater (New York) and Black Hole Theater (Australia), for an intensive three-day puppet-making workshop.

In this workshop, you’ll have the chance to delve into a work of art, poetry, music, or text and examine your response. Then, assisted by three skilled theater-makers and puppeteers, you will each build and animate a puppet that expresses that response. It might be simple or complex. It could be a mirror image, an emotion, a contrasting thought. From basic materials, you’ll create striking images. A single puppet in space, or a scene. What is the image you want to convey? Abstract or real? We’ll respond to your curiosity with lots of skills. Find answers and have a lot of fun!

About PS21

A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times): adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists in music, dance, and theater, and visionaries creating entirely new genres. On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, across our expansive, unspoiled grounds, and in the diverse surrounding communities, PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend aesthetic boundaries and revitalize existing artistic languages and grammars. Throughout the year, we host developmental residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators of original, even unclassifiable new work. Rooted in community collaboration, PS21’s programming engages creatively with critical global and social issues. It is a mecca for innovative and original artistic voices, a destination for performance that can be experienced nowhere else in the region. PS21’s Pavilion Theater is a green-energy marvel surrounded by 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, trails, and woodlands that are a haven to wildlife and visitors across the region.  Integrated into our unspoiled campus, the theater embodies our commitments to the public: open, inviting, and optimized for their enjoyment and encouraging citizen expression and participation.
