Subject: PUPT: Jiim Gamble's Master Class, July 2004


March 26, 2004
Dear All,

         We have chatted about this for over a year, and I'm finally able to 
commit to conducting a master class for marionettes.   The dates will be July 
25-30, 2004 at my studio in the South Bay Harbor City area of Los Angeles.  
(You may arrive early to take advange of Sat. night airline stayover.)   
Workshop will be from 0800-1800, full 8 hours each day. Each participant will 
construct a complete marionette, from wood, foam, neoprene, and fabric.   I will have 
experts in costuming, sculpting, mold making and casting helping with the 
five-day course.   

     Marymount College will offer 1-2 credits for the class for an additional 
fee of approximately $500 if desired.   The college will also offer housing, 
an apartment with two bedrooms and private bath nearby and I will provide 
transportation to and from my studio.   Cost is being determined.   There are also 
motels and hotels nearby.

        We will concentrate on theory, trick stringing, and fast ways to 
create professional marionettes.   The cost for the class is $1500, ($300 per day) 
for everything you could learn in a college semester or 6 months interning.   
Limited to 12-15 particpants.   Puppetry or some performing experience is 
required.   The objective is to teach marionette skills.

     We will work hard and you will learn much.   Evenings will be devoted to 
fun, relaxation and homework, if necessary to complete your marionette. I 
will also show videos from puppet festivals in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.  
 All supplies are furnished.   I am hoping to set up tour to other puppetry 
studios in LA. 

     I will post an outline of the program on my web site in another week, as 
I'm flying from Los Angeles to Moscow tomorrow and will perform in Novy 
Urengoi next week for a large puppetry festival.   Return to California April 6.   
(This is advance notice.) 

     We need $500 to hold a place for the Master Class.   Send inqiries to 
Jim-AT-Jimgamble.com or check the website (after a week) www.jimgamble.com   Jim
