Giant Pop-Up Book Puppet Stage^

Would you like to include dramatic scene changes in your presentation? This technique creates a magical show for a small to medium audience.

Built as a large book, the set is easy to transport and requires only a table for set up. We will examine the engineering of pop-up elements then make small scale models of your set ideas, insuring that your engineering works smoothly.

The model is a crucial step before going on to build the full size version on your own. A materials list will be included to build your large scale sets on your own.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and for the United States Embassy English Language Specialist Program in Central America, Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa.
