Carole D'Agostino
Workshops & Presentations
I can show your group how to create puppet shows, develop story boards, have confidence in their performances or even how to be professional in the field of puppetry. Workshops and presentations are available online or in person. All workshops involve hands-on activity and active engagement with the audience. Everyone comes away with useful, actionable skills.
