About the workshop & practitioner
This 2-day Puppetry intensive will explore the relationship between the visible performer and the puppet/object on stage.

It will introduce the participants to a wide range of styles of puppetry including 3 person operated figures.

She has directed over 30 theatre and site-specific productions for Theatre-Rites within the UK and internationally, as well as directing both Chotto Desh and Chotto Xenos for the Akram Khan Company.
