Get in touch
We specialise in custom-made puppet shows and puppet-making workshops, for childen and adults alike. Our creative process is highly interactive: we work with our clients to create personalised, original musical puppet shows to celebrate events such as anniversaries, birthdays, awards - anything worth celebrating, really!
We also bring to life classic books and stories through puppets and music, both for adult and family audiences, and we have created films for non-profits, plays based on books for literary festivals and puppets for television pilots. More...
CURRENT WORKSHOPS AND SHOWS
Over the past several years we have provided workshops at the Curious Arts Festival and Wigtown Book Festivals, as well as workshops at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology and other venues, both private and public. We are currently writing and creating a puppet musical about a mythical woman in Wales, in the United Kingdom. More on that soon, but mum's the word for now!

Using songs, dance, puppetry and stories, and inspired by Borges' short story, The Library of Babel, we told a story about books, blindness, illness, life and death. And the irony of it all.
We'd like to give a hearty thanks to the following folks who have given so generously to help us realise our stories, from page to puppet to you!
