In addition to the dialogue program, the events of «Amman Days for Puppet Theater» include a specialized workshop in the manufacture and animation of puppets, which allows participants to learn about the practical and technical aspects associated with the design, manufacture, and animation of puppets, thereby enhancing the practical aspect of the festival experience and opening the door for those interested to acquire new skills in this theatrical art.
The diversity of the program between dialogue and training comes within a framework that seeks to approach puppet theater from more than one angle, starting from its reality and challenges, passing through its presence in school theater, and reaching the practical aspects of making and animating the puppet, thereby establishing the presence of this art as a space for creativity, experimentation, and communication with the young audience.
