Course work in BFA Puppetry Program includes intensive study in the practice of puppetry
as a theatrical art form. The program offers an intensive curriculum in puppet
construction and manipulation in a variety of mediums and styles. Students are
also encouraged to explore and develop their own techniques and individual performance
pieces. In addition to a broad-based curriculum in theatre studies, students work
under the direction of a faculty member to help operate the Puppet Mobile which
tours the region with productions providing hands-on experience and additional
performance opportunities.
