Muppeteer workshops

Muppeteer workshops have been held every few years since the late 1960s. In these intensive workshops, new up-and-coming puppeteers are invited to this master-class to improve their craft. These workshops also are held to find new talent for the Jim Henson Company. The workshops are heavy in improv, singing, and character development. Jim Henson originally held these workshops and taught at them, as did Jane Henson, Richard Hunt and Kevin Clash. Muppeteers who have been discovered through workshops include Fran Brill, Richard Hunt, Martin P. Robinson, Pam Arciero, Matt Vogel, Eric Jacobson, John Tartaglia, and several others. Sesame Workshop also continues to hold puppeteer workshops every few years attracting international performers, taught under Matt Vogel, Martin P. Robinson and Peter Linz.
