Explore the World of Puppetry and Collective Imagination

I offer a range of workshops designed to engage participants in the creative process, fostering connection, collaboration, and radical imagination. These workshops are suitable for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, and can be tailored to fit the needs of your community or event. Below are some of the key workshops I provide:

1. Object Connection and Puppet Making

In this workshop, participants will explore the concept of object connection, a fundamental part of my artistic methodology. We begin by engaging with everyday objects, discovering their hidden narratives and potential as puppets. Participants will then craft their own puppets, learning techniques to bring these objects to life. This workshop encourages personal expression and creativity, offering a hands-on experience in the art of puppetry.

2. Collective Devising and Performance Creation

Building on the puppets created in the Object Connection workshop, this session focuses on collective devising. Participants work together to develop a small performance, using their puppets to tell a story or convey a message. The emphasis is on collaboration and shared creativity, as we explore how individual contributions can come together to form a cohesive and powerful performance. This workshop culminates in a live performance, allowing participants to showcase their work.

3. Puppet Making and Collective Dreaming

This workshop invites participants to engage in the process of collective dreaming, where we imagine and design the world we wish to inhabit. Through the creation of puppets and the exploration of radical imagination, we will work together to bring these dreams to life. Participants will learn puppet-making techniques while engaging in creative discussions about the future we want to create. The workshop concludes with a collective performance, where the puppets and stories crafted by participants are shared with the wider community.
