Puppetry
The Puppet Lab aims to inspire and educate people of all ages through contact with the arts.
Puppetry is an inclusive art form that engages with its audience on a multiplicity of levels. A strong and healthy puppetry sector is a simple and effective way of getting people involved in creativity and performance.
The diverse work of the Puppet Lab takes place anywhere, from site specific theatre in building sites to small community centres and schools. We tour performances and create events that engage the imaginations of our audiences.
Over the next two years we are going to get Big Man Walking out and about again, create a cutting-edge piece of theatre looking up-to-the-minute biomedical research and set up a joint project with Norway Figure theatre.
We constantly experiment with different performance techniques and engage with new artists, writers and designers to create work for Scottish and International touring productions.
Everybody should have the opportunity to enjoy the creative arts.
