I have experience facilitating “Principles of Puppetry” and making workshops for children and young people between the ages of 4-18.
See some examples of workshops I can offer below! This list isn’t exhaustive and I would be open to personalising or adapting them to particular themes to fit an event.
They work well for families or groups of children, as a drop-in activity or for a set amount of time.
Toy Theatre Making
2-3 hours, for children 5+
This workshop introduces children to toy theatre techniques, and it is a good fit to accompany my storytelling puppet show in a suitcase, The Giant Who Slept For Ten Thousand Years.
Troll Puppet Making
1-2 hours, for all ages
In this workshop, children get to create their own troll puppet inspired by the powerful seatrolls and the shapeshifting giant, Bjorna of The Giant Who Slept For Ten Thousand Years.
Shadow Puppetry
1-2 hours, for all ages
This workshop can be adapted to a wide range of themes and stories, depending on the occasion the activity is booked for.
