Puppet Therapy

21/11/2025

🐻🧠Today we share a creative self-portrait puppet exercise created by student 🌷Hannah Mahringer (Spain) as part of our ongoing online Puppet Therapy course, a space of learning and creation in constant movement.


🐻The self-portrait puppet is a practice that invites us to observe who we are from another angle. Through construction and animation, layers appear that are not always expressed through words. Gestures reveal inner states, textures activate memories, and forms bring forward aspects that were in a state of silence.

🐻When the object becomes an animated mirror, movements emerge that speak of how we inhabit our body, how we hold emotions, and how we relate to our memories. Each action with the material helps us recognize our own nuances and opens a reflective space where the intimate becomes visible, sensitive, present, and thinkable.

🐻Today we look back and share a piece from 2022, when we were invited to the Puppet Festival Chuncheon in South Korea to guide the Puppet Therapy Academy. In this video you can see a self-portrait exercise created by a student, a creative exploration that is part of our model.

🐻The self-portrait with animated forms is an exercise of deep observation and a dialogue with memory that allows micro-gestures to emerge. To animate an object is to enter a conversation where our thoughts intertwine with the material. The mind extends into the object and the object responds through these micro-gestures, generating an embodied understanding that opens new ways of seeing ourselves.

🐻🍁We are sharing a memory from a creative exploration in the first English version of our Puppet Therapy program in 2021.

🐻This exploration is shared with permission and belongs to student 🌷🍁 Marynia Janus (Poland).

🐻In this practice, we explored a giant sheet of paper as a space where the body can think, feel, and remember. The sound of the paper accompanies each movement, becoming a form of perception that awakens embodied memories. It is an invitation to let the body enter into dialogue with material and allow creativity.

Objeto & Dis capacidad.
Exploración dentro del marco del Diplomado de Puppet Therapy 🐻🧠2025

Estudiante 🌷: Yuruani Rodríguez (Argentina).


En esta exploración, el movimiento, el cuerpo como soporte y el silencio permiten que el objeto y la materia revelen otras formas de presencia y kinesis ampliando sus posibilidades expresivas. Al animarlos, aparecen relatos que activan memoria y resonancias empáticas hacia modos diversos de movimientos y de pensamientos.
La animaciónny la respiración conciente, se vuelven un modo de observar los cuerpos (no) normativos, encontrando nuevas posibilidades de gesto y percepción

We are preparing our new in-person training in Barcelona. 🧠🐻 2026 🐻🧠

☆Led by: Polo Fernández & Andy Markovits☆

🐻🧠From January 22 to 24, 2026, we will offer an intensive three-day program exploring the therapeutic, expressive and extended potential of animated forms.
We will work through applied theory and simultaneous practice, with a wide range of exercises that integrate the concepts directly into experience.

🐻🧠From a neuro-informed perspective, we will explore materials and objects as activators of therapeutic processes in trauma contexts and as silent mobilizers of shame as an embodied emotion.

🐻🧠This 7 edition brings together students from around the world and has become a space for exchange and shared experience among professionals from diverse fields.

How can we explore dis-ability through puppetry?

We share this video created by our student as part of her process in the Puppet Therapy program.
Studen 🌷: Hannah Mahringer (Spain)

Shared with consent.

In our course, students work with the hidden possibilities of materiality and the unexpected knowledge that emerges when an object begins to move. Through silence, weight, texture, and the simple act of animating, ideas overflow and new forms of thinking appear.

This video is a gentle and powerful exploration of dis-ability. It invites us to feel alongside the object, to let its material presence reshape our assumptions, and to discover what becomes possible when we think and move in co-creation with an animated form.

🐻🧠 The new Online course and the in-person Puppet Therapy program Barcelona start in January 2026 🐻🧠
