Here you can find a selection of indoor and outdoor theatre shows I’ve puppeteered in.
I’ve performed using various puppetry techniques: long and short string marionettes, shadow, rod and table top puppets. I’ve worked with large scale walkabout puppets and with an animatronic tortoise, Zelva. If you’d like to see my CV in full please get in touch!

Reviews
“The Selfish Giant” by the Puppet Barge“The actors are beautifully crafted puppets, manipulated with outstanding skill by a team of only three puppeteers (though you’d easily believe there were more, it’s so intricate). In their performance Emily Dyble, Bori Mező and Stan Middleton expertly capture the essence of playful youth in the small children and animals of the tale”

“PEA.” by Nod at the Fox“Harbud and Mezö are flawless and engaging performers. They use wonderfully witty dialogue alongside highly expressive physical movement, which gives clarity to the tale. And there’s a delightful, varied range of puppets to be enjoyed, each distinctly and appealingly characterised.”

“A Water Journey” by String Theatre“Marionettes are notoriously difficult to perform and it’s with astonishing dexterity that Soledad Zárate and Borbála Mező create these expressive characters. The playfulness of the animals – particularly the adorable ducklings – is absolutely joyous, causing the whole audience to chuckle and sigh with delight.”
