Playing With Reality: Puppetry and Augmented Reality is a hands-on workshop exploring the intersection of puppetry, motion capture and digital technologies. Participants experiment with tools such as 3D modelling software, augmented reality and AI to discover new ways of extending physical performance into virtual environments.

Led by practitioners working in puppetry and digital design, the session introduces practical techniques for translating movement into digital forms.

Through collaborative experimentation, participants explore how emerging technologies can reshape storytelling, performance and the creative possibilities of puppetry.
