Kids, Cameras, and Puppets:  How to Communicate with Puppets Through the Lens

Puppet Saturdays Lecture Series

Saturday, April 26 at 14:00 CET — Online Event

We are thrilled to welcome acclaimed photographer Runar Blekken and director Maiken Marstrander, who will share their insights into the unique and joyful world of working with puppets and young children on screen.

Drawing from their extensive work within the beloved Bo Bear universe, Runar and Maiken will discuss the challenges and creative solutions involved in capturing the imagination of preschoolers through live-action puppetry. With years of experience creating content for both television and cinema, they bring a wealth of knowledge about engaging young audiences in meaningful and entertaining ways.

Whether you are a puppeteer, filmmaker, educator, or simply curious about the intersection of early childhood media and puppetry, this lecture promises to offer inspiration, practical tips, and behind-the-scenes stories.
