Workshops
Making, performing or working with puppets can nurture a variety of skills including ensemble work, focus, imagination and acting.
I provide a variety of puppet related workshops for all ages, from 3 years old, primary and secondary school children, university students and adults!
I work regularly with the The Little Angel Theatre, Go Kid Music and the Harrow Arts Centre. I have also worked with vulnerable children and teenagers, who have face adversity, including children in care and young people who are HIV Positive.
My workshops often include making and performing
I also create bespoke puppetry workshops and facilitate workshops specifically tailored for the processes of theatre-making.

Consultation
I am often asked to observe and provide constructive feedback emerging puppetry companies to fully realize their work, in both their puppetry technique and their overall performance. I thrive on nurturing new talent in composing their work as well as encouraging their performance practice and giving advice on taking their work public.
Subject to expenses, I can travel to anywhere in the UK for visits
