If you have a puppet team and need help with puppetry skills, ventriloquism, developing sketches and creating humor, James Adams has several great workshops available. Schedule these separately or in conjunction with a James and the Professor Family Night Program. Put workshops and concert together for a special weekend!

1. SCRIPTS THAT CREATE REAL MOMENTS WITH REAL CHARACTERS!
Natural sounding dialog. Natural looking movement. Don’t just be
funny, force your character to act! Don’t be afraid of "drama!"

2. DON’T BE THE OTHER DUMMY!
Sure your figure looks real ... but, do you? Are you a real person on
stage or a dummy? A Ventriloquist can’t be a blank faced mannequin!
You need to be a character yourself!

3. HUMOR... MORE THAN JUST JOKES!
Creating humor that is uniquely yours! Creating humor that comes from
your characters! Finding good sources for humor and humorous
situations-not just jokes!

4. BEGINNING VENTRILOQUISM AND PUPPETRY, PART 1
How to choose a ventriloquist figure or puppet. Develop a voice to suit
you character. Learning lip control. Your first performance!

5. BEGINNING VENTRILOQUISM AND PUPPETRY, PART 2
Developing a character sketch for your figure or puppet. The ten
commandments for script writing. Variety, the key to maintaining
interest in your act.
