Puppets

Puppetry in Contemporary Theatre

Puppetry has become an important part of contemporary theatre, appearing in both large-scale productions and devised ensemble work. Inspired by traditions such as Bunraku, theatre puppetry often involves multiple performers working together to create precise, expressive movement.

Neutral Puppets in Training and Performance

Neutral puppets are widely used in actor training because they focus attention on movement, timing, and ensemble awareness rather than fixed character. With minimal visual detail, performers create life through breath, gesture, and coordinated physical action.

Our Neutral Puppets

Strangeface neutral puppets are designed as robust tools for drama schools, theatre companies, and practitioners exploring puppetry in workshops, rehearsal, and performance. Durable construction and internal armatures support natural articulation, while weighted hands and feet help performers achieve convincing, expressive movement.
