Turtle Lantern Puppet
For the puppetry module at LIPA, I self-led a lantern turtle puppet project and performed alongside Adannae Okeke, who made a lantern bird puppet. Learning puppetry manufacture techniques as well as performance methods to bring the animals to life, it brought together multiple departments of performance, lighting, design, and building together.

Monkey Hand Puppet
Made of foam, latex, hessian, and paint, this monkey puppet was brought to schools in Liverpool, creating fun entertainment for the students.
Puppetry experience extends to returning work with VIP Puppets, having assisted the Liverpool Bold Street Puppet Festival as well as a corporate event in London working alongside the touring Lion King cast. This work included puppeteering, puppet maintenance, and running puppetry workshops.
