Supporting puppetry means...

 

Investing  in people

​

 

People make them

​

People dress them

​

People operate them

​

People light them

​

People maintain them

​

People mend them

 

People book them in the theatres and festivals

 

And people come and see them and bring them alive in their imaginations

 

A puppet quite literally does nothing on its own -

 

They need your help!

​

​
 

​

Investing in time

​

It takes up to ten years to learn to operate a Bunraku puppet properly.

​

It takes up 5 years to develop a new script from scratch. During this process we constantly workshop the ideas to see if they are working.

​

Out of every ten ideas that we start with perhaps 2 become finished scripts.

​

It takes on average 6 months to make the cast of puppets for a show.

​

Your donations support the training of new puppeteers, puppet makers who make our work and make the puppetry and theatre of tomorrow. 

​

​

​

​

Our goal

 

We want to reach as many artists, audiences, people who love puppetry and people who have never seen puppetry before all over the world.

​

Our core purpose is innovation and excellence.

​

We believe that puppetry has something unique to offer artists and audiences in the theatre.
