Gary Friedman in Sydney is holding a new set of puppetry classes: 

"A new Puppetry for Film and Television Course is starting, once again, at the Wesley Institute for the Performing Arts in Sydney, Australia in June 2008... The course will include design and construction of puppets, manipulation for the camera, developing scenarios for performance, voice, characterisation development and short performances. Participants will develop, perform and direct their short scenarios for a course show-reel."

Dates: Eight consecutive Wednesday evenings from 11 June - 30 July
Time: 6.00 to 9.00pm
Cost: $599 plus $100 for materials*
*Early-bird $99 discount for bookings before 30 May 2008, plus extra 5% student discount!

More info can be found on Gary's site, here. 

I've taken one of Gary's classes (not this particular one), and I can highly recommend them. Lots of fun, and a lot to learn! If you're in the Sydney area and want to learn more about puppetry, do check it out. It'll be worth the money.
