In a country of an over two centuries long tradition of puppetry and homeland of internationally renowned Jiří Trnka and Jan Švankmajer , Collegium Hieronymi Pragensis organizes a new program in July 2012. The program consists of two components, namely
 
•    Marionettes Master Class
•    Voice Coaching Class.
 
The workshop is ideal for designers, performers, and lovers of puppetry. Students will make wooden carved marionettes and create an original puppet performance that will be presented to the public in Prague and at castles and festivals around the Czech Republic. It is lead by Leah Gaffen and Mirek Trejtnar, respected specialists in the field.Voice coaching class, conducted by Linda Gates, Northwestern University Professor, is an indispensable precondition of the concluding series of performances.
