Merlin Puppet Theatre
SPACE SIX
Monday 8th - Tuesday 9th April 2019
10am - 5pm daily
Ages 18+ / adults
£120
An approach to all three basic elements that contribute to making a complete visual universe - Object, Universe and Life. OBJECT - puppet, mask, shadows; UNIVERSE - scenography, light and sound; LIFE - how these elements become animate. An exploratory laboratory, which examines through analysis, practice and experimentations, how a harmonious puppetry performance is created. Through improvisations and research on stage individually and in groups, participants will work on how to develop and realise an idea, all the way from scratch to the final desirable result. See here for Merlin Puppet Theatre's show at the festival, "Noone's Land".

About the event
A Treasury of Tyneside Tales: Community Exhibition
Come and be amazed by the work of young people and elders living in Tyneside, who together have created 100 crankie theatres, packed full of Tyneside stories.
Drawing inspiration from local folklore uncovered in The Great North Museum’s library and archive, participants have narrated and illustrated memories from their neighbourhoods, retold either as truthful recollections or reimagined as modern fairy tales.
You will also get the chance to explore a specially crafted visual story of the project created by local artist Anna-Marie Gallares.
The exhibition is free and open to the public during normal opening hours of the Great North Museum: Hancock between Saturday 3rd - Saturday 18th April 2026.
Monday – Friday, 10am – 5pm
