Moving Parts Puppet School

The Moving Parts Puppet School is a space for people in the North East of England to create, play, explore, express and imagine. It is a place for discovering puppetry and for building a community for the art form in the region.

 

The Puppet School has been created specifically for North East people and it aims to spark creativity in kids, teens and adults alike through accessible and affordable courses.

FREE

 

Pop-up home theatre with every ticket!

Each ticket on a Moving Parts Puppet School course includes all puppet making materials needed and a specially-designed, pop-up home theatre. The pop-up home theatre designed by Rachael Horner can be placed everywhere from kitchen tables, to hospital bedsides, to back gardens – a tiny, magical world can be created in the home.

"Thank you for giving my son something to look forward to each week which he felt was his 'thing'. He has continued to show an interest after puppet school has finished."

​The Moving Parts Puppet School debuted in Spring 2021 by delivering two online courses for kids (7-11) and teens (12-16), made possible through funding from the Community Foundation / Newcastle Cultural Investment Fund. We returned for Autumn 2021 with three courses for kids, teens and adults in partnership with Life and Limb Puppets, made possible through funding from Arts Council England and the Community Foundation / Wide Open Road Fund.
