Behind the Seams

The Art of Television Puppetry with the Sesame Street Muppet Performers

With Matt Vogel, Eric Jacobson, Peter Linz and Carmen Osbahr.

Learn the secrets of bringing puppet characters to life in a presentation that talks the puppet talk and walks the puppet walk. Join the brilliant performers behind many beloved Sesame Street characters as they share how they shape puppet personalities and demonstrate performance techniques in the classic Henson style. They’ll share a few on-set stories and personal insights about character creation – shining a rare spotlight on their puppeteering lives. If we’re lucky, a few Muppet friends from the Street may also join us.
