Puppet Shorts

We’ve had some requests from drama teachers to make these puppet videos available. These three little films describing the elements of puppetry were made to accompany our show ‘The Hit’ and have been used since in schools and colleges as a stimulus to teaching puppetry.

If you would like a video of the full show for teaching purposes (a very black comedy riffing on the theory of cognitive dissonance age 14+), please send us an email and we’ll send you a link.

Thanks to our extraordinary puppeteers Chand Martinez, Rhea Locker Marsh and Teele Uustani. Videos made by the equally amazing David Abra.
