Yael Rasooly at the Ellen Van Volkenburg Symposium

On Saturday, January 27th, Yael Rasooly was a speaker at The Ellen Van Volkenburg Puppetry Symposium session entitled “Panel 3 – Manipulation.”

The event was presented by the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival and sponsored by UNIMA-USA, moderated by Dr. Paulette Richards, and held online through Howlround.

Panel 3 – Manipulation explores the question: How does the material used to construct the puppet affect the manipulation technique used to animate it? How do the needs of the performance influence the choice of materials and manipulation techniques?
