An interactive workshop for 8 to 16-year-olds and their families who want to discover some of the ‘tricks of the trade’ for bringing a puppet to life.

Many puppets are operated with more than one person and Chris will give guidance on how to do this comfortably with awareness of breath. Learn skills and explore tools to manipulate puppets and objects fluidly and effectively without strain or injury. The session will include all aspects of puppetry from design and making through to performance.

This event is for family groups to learn and have fun together. Unaccompanied children or adults booking without children should not attend. As places are limited please ensure you book a ticket for each member of your group.
