Sandglass teaches a method of puppet performance that has been developed over 30 years of workshops around the world. This year’s Summer Intensive training will pilot a new training model allowing for participants to choose a focused track of Puppet Construction (with Ines Zeller Bass), Puppetry Performance (with Shoshana Bass) or Directing for Puppet Theater (with Eric Bass). Classes are scheduled five and a half days per week. Participants will have evening access to work spaces. Applicants must select a first choice and second choice for the afternoon track. We will do our best to accommodate your first choice.

This year Sandglass is able to offer three scholarships for US-based BIPOC participants (inclusive of tuition, housing and community dinners). Scholarships are distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis.
