Impossible Arts

A big thanks goes out to Chris and Charlotte who helped introduce our new project of shadow puppets with an audio-visual show and practical making session.

See how we got on in these images from the day:

Charlotte trying out different manipulation techniques.

We discovered that if you press the puppets up to the shower curtain you get a totally different effect.

Omar with the groups first complete puppet. Now let's make super scissor man HUGE!!!!

As you can see, we had a great time and learnt lots about making puppets and how to create good shows; music, sound effects; the comic rule of three; lighting and characters are all important as well as having cool puppets!

Here's to another five sessions of puppetry fun!

Rebekah Caputo Visit

Last week was our first review week and we were lucky enough to a visit from a professional puppeteer, Rebekah Caputo.


Rebekah lives and works locally making and performing for many different types of shows over the years including physical theatre and shadow puppetry. 


Rebekah bought along examples of Bunraku style puppets from previous solo shows as well as shadow puppets from an upcoming joint venture.
