IMPROV WITH PUPPETS! with Sara Farr

Puppets mania is sweeping the nation and improvisers are catching the bug, too! In this 3 hour workshop we'll play with the basics of puppet manipulation (eye contact, breath, emotion, etc.), before we get into some improv games & scenes to explore how improvising with puppets can get you closer to PLAY and out of your head. A fun class to take, whether you're looking to expand your improv tool-belt with puppets, or just looking for a fun afternoon with puppets. $25

She has improvised on stage with other improv troupes including "Haunted," "The Pom-Pom Sisterhood," "The Flying Theater Machine," "The Leading Brands" and "Wooden Nickel".

I was planning on doing this class but my lovely job decided to give the crappiest of crappy schedules. I hate that I can't take this class b/c I love puppets.
