"I can’t tell you how grateful I’ve been for these opportunities to learn and get out of my comfort zone. I’d reached a place where I knew I wanted to make the jump from stage puppetry to film/monitor but felt like I just kept hitting walls re: where to learn, make that transition, connections, etc (without living in NYC or LA). I’ve been so grateful for the chance to learn from performers I respect and revere! All that to say, you really have filled a void with Little Shadow and that’s a special thing."

The PLAYGround and Training Ground for the Monitor Puppetry Skills You’ve Been Looking For.

You’ll get 10 expertly crafted and led lessons from how to set up camera, phone or laptop, to how to focus your eye and lip sync to building your skills! (Experienced puppeteers - don’t worry - we’ll work with you to up level your skills in the very same room. All boats will rise!) Scrolling aimlessly and deep diving soc

Scrolling aimlessly and deep diving into social media communities will only create FOMO and imposter syndrome. Why not learn how to play along?

Got all my juices flowing. It’s so great to be part of this community.
