Participatory tabletop puppetry and puppet greetings
Guests collaborate to bring an improbable puppet to life
Rough House Puppet Arts
Rough House offers custom event workshops in found-object puppetry and three-person tabletop manipulation inspired by Bunraku. Its party offerings also include puppets greeting guests. Participants can explore making and performing with objects rather than simply watching a conventional puppet show.
