A Paper Puppetry Primer

Led by Lyon Forrest Hill

The simplest of materials; paper, wire, scissors, and tape, can be used to create expressive puppets. Working primarily with flat paper, the creative use of joints and layering can create complex movement and convincing depth. Lyon will demonstrate various techniques he has developed to create performances for both stage and screen. Participants will also be able to make a puppet from one of many different templates.

Lyon Forrest Hill (b. 1975) is the artistic director of the Columbia Marionette Theatre in SC. He has directed over a dozen productions for CMT and built puppets for many more. His puppetry short film work has earned him a UNIMA-USA citation of excellence, one of the highest honors in the field. A lifelong purveyor of puppetry, comics, animation, and toys; Lyon synthesizes his interests into a unique type of performance that is heavy on atmosphere and detailed imagery. At the heart of his work, though, are hopeful and earnest ideas. Ages 8 and up.
