Hi, I’m David Bizzaro—an Emmy Award-winning puppeteer, actor, director, and multi-hyphenate creator. You may have seen my work as Gerald Teeth Sr. on Disney's The Muppets Mayhem, Mochi on Netflix's Waffles + Mochi’s Restaurant, or behind the scenes on Sesame Street. I also run an artisan clothing brand, BZRO, which you should also check out!

After years of performing, coaching, and developing original characters for the screen, I’m finally offering something people have been asking for: an in-person puppetry workshop.

Beginner Workshop | 2.5 Hours | In-person | $110 per student

    • Make strong entrances, exits, and partner scenes
    • Perform a short puppet dance with a group
    • Stay "alive in the frame"
    • Get practical career and industry insights during Q&A

    Expect low-pressure, high-fun, and a strong foundation you can build on.

    Who should join:

    Adults (18+) who want to:

    • Explore puppetry for the first time
    • Add camera-ready puppetry skills to their performance toolkit
    • Connect play, movement, and performance in a fresh way

    Do you know someone younger who's seriously interested? Reach out—we're happy to chat.

    What to prepare:

    • Come "First Date Ready": clean shirt, clean hands, respectful energy
    • Dress to move: we'll stretch, perform, and get a little goofy
    • Water bottle: puppetry is a workout. Gotta stay hydrated
    • Optional: bring a puppet (but not required—we've got tools to practice)
    • You'll leave with a puppetry-for-camera cheat sheet to keep learning after the workshop.

    💡 Good to know:

    • No experience necessary. Beginners are absolutely welcome.
    • You'll be on camera. Expect low-pressure practice with live feedback.
    • We'll be physical, similar to a dance class, and some hands-on adjustments may be offered with your consent.
    • You'll leave with a cheat sheet. Everyone receives a one-pager with TV/film puppetry tips.

    Come ready to play, learn, and laugh—I'll guide you every step of the way!
