Design and create puppets for digital content with artist and musician Kalanjay Dhir in this free 3-day workshop at PHIVE in Parramatta.
Inspired by Dhir’s latest work Coming Down, students will collaborate in the hand-building of puppets to be used as physical avatars in a devised short film. Students will look at puppetry as a precursor to cartooning, augmented reality and avatarisation in games and online spaces.
