Oral History Live! “The Future of Digital Puppetry” with Brian Henson

Brian Henson, Chairman of The Jim Henson Company, will present an overview of the history of puppetry at The Jim Henson Company. Henson will explore the different technical achievements that have become part of the Company’s legacy and have led to its groundbreaking development of the Henson Digital Puppetry Studio, a unique system that allows performers to voice and puppeteer computer-generated characters in real time. This unique and revolutionary way of creating animated characters has most recently been used in the Company’s newest production Sid the Science Kid, currently airing on PBS Kids®.
