Nothing beats the mix of noise, energy, and those unexpected moments when a puppet becomes someone’s friend. Our stories, especially the ones about 'Popo' thatha, hit home for many. I’m here to help make memories, not just teach skills. ### What Happens in the Workshops Hands-on is the only way I teach. You’ll get right into it: - Make your own puppet from scratch with cardboard, socks, or whatever’s handy - Try different forms, from sock buddies to marionettes - Learn how to move your puppet, give it a voice, and spin a story - End with a mini puppet show—yup, you’re the star ### Who Shows Up? Kids (our putanis!) come alive in these sessions, especially ages 6-12. But honestly, adults have just as much fun—making marionettes, goofing around, or just finding that creative spark again. ### For Everyone, No Barriers I care a lot about making this space open for all. I run inclusive puppetry sessions for children with special needs too, collaborating with groups like Snehadhara Foundation. For some, it’s just play; for others, it’s real arts-based therapy with puppets. ### Where & How Based in Bangalore, I run these workshops anywhere—schools, art galleries, community spots. Sometimes it’s a one-off, sometimes a week-long camp. Every event is different, but the energy’s always the same. ## Highlights Browse through PuppeTree's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/puppetreetheatre/puppetry-workshops-classes/featured) - ![There is nothing more priceless than this moment of connection.
