Adam Savage is back at the Henson company to learn how to perform puppets and see how the Creature Shop recreates some classic characters from the past.
Join Adam Savage and Brian Henson, Chairman of the Board at the Jim Henson Company, for a puppeteering adventure like no other. Discover backstage secrets, get schooled on improv puppeteering, and watch as Adam tries his hand (literally!) on stage along with the incredible Puppet Up! crew. Prepare for laughs and a dash of puppet chaos in Adam’s first on-stage puppeteering performance! (Don't worry -- he's keeping his day job.)
At Jim Henson's Creature Shop in New York, Adam Savage learns how talented fabricators transform the characters from two of Jim Henson's earliest sketches -- the Glow Worm and Business Business -- into two sets of puppets that will appear live on stage in Brian Henson's Puppet Up improv show. It's a balance between recreating some of the mechanisms developed by Jim and his team in the 1960s, and using modern techniques like 3D printing to make the performance pop for a live audience. And we'd say they pulled it off quite beautifully.
