Discover Monsters and Bring Them to Life

Description

Create your own monster and tell its story! In this workshop, children will learn basic puppet theater techniques under the guidance of stage professionals and develop a small piece using their imagination and simple means. In the first two days, participants will create their own sock monsters and build simple stage elements. The remaining three days are dedicated to puppet play: children will learn to manipulate their monster and give it a voice. They will invent stories for the creature and develop short scenes based on these, set in a lively and colorful monster world, which will be assembled into a final piece. The workshop can be held in puppet theater or other suitable venues. The next session will take place from October 12 to 16, 2026, at Diogenes Theater in Altstätten.
