Book a Puppet Workshop for your group
Sparking imagination and creativity in children, teens and adults. Nurturing skills in art & design, problem solving, storytelling, drama & theatre, confidence building, working together, and complimenting subjects across the school syllabus.
The benefits of puppetry
​
Puppetry is an inherently accessible, expressive and inclusive creative activity. As the puppet is an extension of the body (as opposed to acting and dancing where the performers themselves are the focus), the art form encourages freedom of expression, builds confidence and is a neutral medium to explore difficult topics and themes. Puppetry can be non-verbal, focusing on movement, enabling it to break down language, demographic and cultural barriers, allowing unlikely participants to connect through creativity and exploration.

“I can transfer these new found skills to my core modules in performance and acting. I think that it is important that this happens again for future generations of college students.”
